About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit is grown in Castiglione d'Asti. Castello del Poggio covers 180 ha, including 158 ha of vineyards in the Monferrato Asti area. The valley of the Temp River lies in front of the castle and forms a natural amphitheatre. The land is now entirely devoted to grape growing.
Vinification
The grapes are gently pressed at the winery. The must ferments until it reaches 5% alcohol, then is cooled to preserve its sweetness and distinctive aroma.
Tasting profile
The aroma is intense. The palate is balanced and not excessively sweet.
Label / history
