Poggiomattio Rosso

Red wine from a selection of Ciliegiolo vines grown in the highest vineyard at Poggio Mattio, naturally fermented on native yeasts with long ageing in tonneau.

About This Wine

Poggiomattio Rosso comes from the highest vineyard on the estate, planted in 2017 at 400 m on the panoramic hill known as Poggio Mattio.
This site combines altitude, constant ventilation, and stony soils of shale, silt, and clay — ideal conditions for producing a refined and aromatic expression of Ciliegiolo.

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Maceration is conducted in the traditional red-wine style, allowing full extraction of colour, aroma, and structure, while still preserving the elegance typical of high-altitude vineyards.

After fermentation, Poggiomattio Rosso ages for 18 months in regenerated 500 L oak tonneaux, followed by additional time in bottle.
This long élevage adds depth and harmony, resulting in a wine that is both structured and graceful, with the potential to age.
