POGGIOGIRATO

Romagna Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Doc, Poggiogirato is an organic wine produced in Castrocaro Terme in the "le Volture" area from 25-year-old Sangiovese vineyards (various clones) with 5000 vines per hectare, trained on a spurred cordon system, planted in terraces and located at an altitude of 200 metres above sea level. The yield per hectare is 5000 kg/hectare, or 1 kg per plant. As far as vinification is concerned, the Sangiovese grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation and subsequent maceration on the skins takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats with indigenous yeasts. The wine's contact with the skins lasts an average of 24 days; malolactic fermentation follows. Maturation lasts 12 months in large 30-quintal casks, followed by 12 months in cement vats and a minimum of 3 months in the bottle for a total of 3,000 products.

The label is taken from one of the sketches by Silvio Gordini, great-great-grandfather of Aldo and Paolo, a famous Romagna painter from the early 1900s.

Poggiogirato takes its name from the layout of the vineyards with the rows aligned in girapoggio, that is orthogonally to the line of maximum slope.

Poggio della Dogana is located in Terra del Sole, an elevation that in the 16th century served as a boundary point between the Papal Romagna and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Today, the farm spans 20 hectares across the hills of Castrocaro Terme – Terra del Sole and Brisighella, in the heart of Romagna.

The characteristics of the land are crucial for the unique style of our wines: the brown and ochre clays of Castrocaro, rich in bromine, sulfur, and calcium, and the sea breeze blowing from the Adriatic just a few dozen kilometers away to the limestone soils of Brisighella, which impart the unmistakable extension of sapidity.

In the wines and people of Poggio della Dogana, you can sense notes of passion for friendship and love for a land as strong and romantic as Romagna.
