This area is renowned for its unique soil and climate conditions, which bestow the grapes with rare elegance and balance. The \u003cstrong\u003eLa Poderina\u003c\/strong\u003e winery manages its vineyards with a production philosophy based on low yields per hectare. This constant attention allows the distinctive character of the territory to shine through, precisely defining the \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan style\u003c\/strong\u003e that characterises this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, vinification begins with fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, complemented by daily pump-overs and délestage, followed by meticulous post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then transferred to wood for malolactic fermentation. Ageing includes careful weekly batonnage on the fine lees for about four months, essential for imparting softness to the structure. Finally, a prolonged rest in \u003cstrong\u003elarge casks\u003c\/strong\u003e and French oak barriques completes its evolution, resulting in a red often celebrated by the \u003cstrong\u003einternational critics\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1988 in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, La Poderina skilfully combines innovation with the noble Tuscan tradition.
