WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Poliziano begins with meticulous vineyard management and parcel-by-parcel harvesting. Grapes undergo multiple selections, including the use of an optical sorter, before being vinified in small batches. The wine then adheres to Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG aging requirements, which include a minimum of two years from the January following harvest, with at least one year spent in oak barrels and an additional year in bottle. The estate also incorporates sustainable practices, such as organic farming and solar power.
