This elegant \u003cstrong\u003eBordeaux blend\u003c\/strong\u003e combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes, vinified in steel and aged in oak barrels, creating an enveloping and balanced structure. The aromatic profile offers clear notes of forest fruits and black cherry, enriched by herbaceous and earthy nuances. On the palate, the tannic texture reveals itself as refined, supported by a lively acidity that guides the sip towards a persistent finish, outlined by a \u003cstrong\u003epleasant mineral savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards extend across the Tuscan area of Castagneto Carducci, where the plants are cultivated with a high \u003cstrong\u003eplanting density\u003c\/strong\u003e. The maritime influence of the coast gives the wine its characteristic saline footprint. The soils present a complex composition, formed by sands, alluvial pebbles, clay, and volcanic rock. This geological richness favours the development of \u003cstrong\u003epowdery tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and gives deep structure to the sip. The entire agronomic management follows the dictates of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, respecting the natural balance of the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e to select the best clusters. In the cellar, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins to extract colour and aromas. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood, introducing the subsequent maturation phase. Ageing continues within \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for several months, concluding with a period of rest in glass useful for integrating the tannic component and stabilising the entire flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1999 by Massimo Piccin, the \u003cstrong\u003ePodere Sapaio\u003c\/strong\u003e estate embodies the contemporary soul of the Tuscan territory.
