ABOUT THIS WINE
The Tommasi Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo 2019 is a red wine from the Maremma Toscana region of Tuscany, Italy. It is produced by Tommasi Viticoltori, a family-owned winery established in 1902. This wine is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, typically in a 60/40 ratio, and falls under the Toscana IGT classification. The grapes are sourced from the Pitigliano estate, known for its calcium carbonate tufa-rich soils. The Poggio al Tufo project was the first wine made by the Tommasi family in Maremma, signifying their expansion beyond their traditional Valpolicella roots. The 2019 vintage benefited from a cooler growing season, contributing to its elegance and class.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tommasi Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo 2019 is vinified using fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a technique employed to maintain the purity of the grape varietals. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a 12-month aging period in large 65-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. This process is designed to allow for gradual maturation and integration of the wine's components.
