- Bold and intense, this mature wine shows pronounced black fruit aromas, combined with hints of walnut, black pepper spice and vanilla. With great intensity of colour and flavour, the fine integrated tannins underpin the complex palate and lead to a long and powerful finish.
This wine is produced from 100% Sangiovese fruit from the 1.33 hectare Poggio di Sant'Enrico Piccolo vineyard and the 3.65 hectare Poggio Sant'Enrico Grande vineyards. These are single vineyards situated at between 300 and 350 metres in elevation on Carpineto's Chianciano Estate in Montepulciano, with southern exposures on rolling hillsides.
The Piccolo vineyard was planted in 1978 and the Grande vineyard was planted in 1995 at a density of 4,464 vines per hectare. The vines are trained to a bilateral cordon with vertical shoot positioning. The grapes are clone SS-F9-A, on a 420A rootstock which are grown in a deep sedimentary soil with sandy clay and limestone.
