“Poderi di Toscana” is a project launched by Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano to acquire vineyards
by retiring farmers, so to minimize the amount of abandoned fields in the territory when young
generations are not willing to pursue their parents agricultural path anymore.
These “rescued” vineyards give birth to this smooth Toscana Sangiovese.
The grapes are harvested when they reach the perfect phenolic maturation in September. The
maceration takes place at 95°F for 12 hours; fermentation at controlled temperature (max 84°C)
follows, with post-fermentative maceration on the skins.
After this period, the wine ages in bottle for 6 months.
L’Oste is our “friendly and fun” bottle of wine, that expresses the complexity of the Sangiovese and the
sustainable farming at Poderi di Toscana. In Italian “Oste” means “host”, the owner of small Trattorias,
to symbolize the friendly approach of this wine.
Suitable for various pairings, from cured meat and cheese to rich pasta dishes and meat main courses.
