About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Pagus Cerbaia is a small plot with sedimentary soils used in Poggio al Tesoro’s expansion of its rosé production. The estate benefits from generous sunshine and proximity to the sea: cool sea breezes moderate the hot Tuscan sun, while hills around the valley shelter the vines from northerly winds.

The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, first in the vineyard and again at the winery.

Vinification

The red varieties are fermented separately in stainless-steel vats and then blended for balance.

Ageing

The wine rests on its fine lees. After bottling, it matures for a further month before release.

Serving and pairing

Open the bottle immediately before serving.

Label / history
