2017 Poggio Antico 2017 1500mL

VINTAGE NOTES Despite the extreme drought in one of the hottest summers of recent decades, maturation has been balanced thanks to the abundant water reserve (accumulated during winter) and the high altitude of our vineyards. All of these elements have contributed to enhancing Poggio Antico’s terroir, thus obtaining the right concentration and a pleasant fruity character in the wines. A vintage to be discovered.
