ABOUT THIS WINE
Poggio del Concone Rosso is a 2023 vintage red wine from Tuscany, Italy, classified as Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT). It is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet grapes. The wine's unique identity stems from its Tuscan origin combined with aging in Piedmontese oak barrels, a deliberate choice to merge regional characteristics. The project was founded in 2017 by Alessandro Mutinelli and Andrea Bernardini with a focus on creating a wine they personally enjoy. Andrea Bernardini, the winemaker, is also the wine quality manager for Italian Wine Brands, a publicly traded Italian wine company.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Poggio del Concone Rosso begins with the separate vinification of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet grapes to highlight their individual qualities. A cold maceration of 5-6 days at 4°C is employed, followed by fermentation for 12-14 days at a controlled temperature not exceeding 24°C. Post-fermentation, 30% of the wine is aged for three months in barrique, with an additional two months spent aging in the bottle before release. Notably, the wine is aged in oak barrels in the producer's cellars located in Piedmont, a distinctive step that blends Tuscan fruit with Piedmontese winemaking influence.
