Marchesa Clementina Rose Il Poggione

HED93689 75cl 12.5%
Il Poggione Marchesa Clementina Rosé is a traditional-method sparkling rosé wine produced in the Montalcino region of Tuscany. Founded in the 1800s, Il Poggione is one of the most historic estates in Montalcino and has been owned in the Franceschi family for five generations. The estate`s reputation for producing some of the best wines in the region was cemented by former winemaker Pierluigi Talenti (1958-1999). Talenti was succeeded by Fabrizio Bindocci, who was in turn succeeded by his own son, Alessandro. The Marchesa Clementina Rosé is an homage to Marchesa Clementina, the grandmother of Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi, current owners of Tenuta Il Poggione, who was a great lover Champagne. "This has a dull salmon-orange colour with aromas of toasted hazelnuts, dried cherries, cantaloupe rind and spices. It`s medium-bodied with creamy bubbles and bright acidity. Rounded and balanced with delicious layers of dried and salted fruit." James Suckling, 2021

Il Poggione

Il Poggione’s stellar reputation for producing fine, long-aged Brunellos is down to the skilled and highly experienced winemakers who have managed the winery cellars: Pierluigi Talenti from 1958 until his death in 1999, ably followed by Fabrizio Bindocci (also the president of the wine consortium Brunello di Montalcino DOCG) and, from 2005, Fabrizio’s son Alessandro.

In the cellar, traditional winemaking prevails, with the use of a submerged cap (the grape solids which rise to the surface of the vats during fermentation) and frequent pumpovers preferred to maximise extraction and ageing conducted in large French oak casks. The standard Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino is matured in cask for three years before a further period of bottle age before release. The estate’s Riserva bottling, which is only made in exceptionally good vintages, spends an additional year in cask.
