The selection of Sangiovese grapes for our Riserva is very strict: we choose only the best clusters -the smallest and loosest ones- often with a double harvest in the vineyard.
The lean, Galestro, limestone soil gives elegance and longevity to the wine coming from those grapes, organically farmed and hand-picked at the perfect ripening moment.
The fermentation in stainless-steel vats with temperature control, as well as the whole wine making process, pursues the extraction of all the fruity aromas and only the softest tannins from the fruit.
After being aged in stainless-steel vat and barrique, our Riserva ages in bottle for 10 months.
Garnet red, fine tonality and brightness. Red fruit and spices scents.
Starting soft well balanced, then harmonious and persistent.
Accompanies any dish which has a strong taste but not excessive. Ideal accompaniment for grilled red meat.
Drink within 10 years from harvest
Since 1935 the Galardi brothers have dedicated themselves to the production of oil and wine on the hills of Fiesole, a few kilometers from Florence, as well as to the construction of mechanical equipment for the production of cereals, wine and oil.
The vineyards and olive groves extend over 17 ha, at 150 m asl. On the lean, marly and calcareous soils the productions are limited in quantity, but of important quality.
Exposure to the sun determines a particularly favorable microclimate and the absence of humidity stagnation minimizes parasitic attacks, favoring a low environmental impact agronomic management, certified organic since 1999, alongside the use of renewable energy sources and the study of packaging materials.
Even today Poggiopiano maintains its family management in agricultural production, as well as in the reception in the Cellar and in the Farmhouse.
