Poggio Antico
There are a number of parallels between this estate
and that of Casanova di Neri. Here is another family
business which has seen success despite control being turned over to one of the
younger members of the family, in this case Paolo Gloder. Both estates have
taken oenological advice from popular consultant Carlo Ferrini, and both focus
strongly on Sangiovese, rather than including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as
many other Tuscan estates do.
Brunello, Altero and Madre are the result of our great care and dedication.
The wines see the minimum wood influence, spending the shortest legally permitted time in large Slavonian botti.
The wines include Altero, essentially a Brunello, although officially classified as Vino da Tavola as it does not receive the necessary period of time in wood to claim that DOCG. Otherwise there is an extremely good and aromatic Brunello, and an excellent Rosso. (23/12/02)
