VAL DI SUGA BRUNELLO DI MOTALCINO POGGIO AL GRANCHIO 2013
Grape Source: Sangiovese Grosso 100% only from the "Poggio al Granchio" vineyard
Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Size: 18 ha (44 acres)
Soil: Galestro soils (marl)
Elevation: 400 - 450 meters (1,312 - 1,476 feet) above sea level
Orientation: North - South
Density: 5,050 vines/hectare (2,045 vines/acre)
Training: Spurred cordon
Vintage Report
Summer weather conditions during the first ten days of September, with constant sunshine and above average temperatures. During the day, temperatures reached 30C (86F) and above. Rather cool temperatures at night around 18C (64F). Ripening progressed well, registering a weekly increase of 1-1.5 alcoholic degrees. The second ten days were like the first, although temperatures were slightly lower; grape ripening progressed well.
Vinification
Once the grapes have been picked, they undergo pre-fermentation maceration at a low temperature (5-6C, 41-43F); fermentation takes place with particular control of the temperature (not over 27C, 81F), pumping over techniques and delestage in order to enhance the fruity and mineral component of the wine. 100% Malolactic fermentation.
Aging: 30 months in French oak (combination 3 to 60 hectoliters); 24 months in bottle
Technical Information
Varietal Composition: 100% Sangiovese
Alcohol: 14.5%
TA: 5.5 g/L
p H: 3.38
RS: <0.8 g/L
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby-red color with violet glints. Explodes on the nose with fresh fruit reminiscent of cherries in spirit, red currants, blackberries and myrtle. On the palate, an unmistakable subtle entry with very long, silky tannins. A sapid, mineral finish that only this area can give Sangiovese.
