SANGIOVESE GROSSO - POGGIO FERRO IGT

Poggio Ferro is a parcel wine from Jacopo Biondi Santi, with grapes coming from a vineyard with southern exposure and at an altitude of 322 to 345 meters above sea level. Its grapes were selected after a careful micro- zonal study among the 55 hectares of vineyards out of a total of more than 600 on the Castello di Montepò estate, which constitute something unique, an expression of great singularity and potential of this clone that is exclusive to the family. Biondi Santi, BBS11.

Jacopo Biondi Santi

In the heart of Maremma, Jacopo Biondi Santi and his children are writing a new chapter in their family’s history of winemaking excellence.

The Castle of Montepò, in the countryside of Scansano, is an authentic and noble Tuscany, where the lands become vineyards of legend.

The estate's 50 hectares of vineyards are exclusively dedicated to three varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a unique and precious clone: Sangiovese Grosso BBS11, where Jacopo Biondi Santi found the ideal conditions for the grape-terroir interaction to crown his ambitious wine enhancement project.

Creating a great wine means protecting its natural environment and terroir, while also caring for collective well-being.

Toscana

The name of Tuscany is synonymous with its most famous, and probably Italy’s most famous, red wine. Chianti is produced in high volumes and exported worldwide, with a distinctive personality that is difficult to define but that has somehow impressed consumers all over the world. The Sangiovese grape is the key to the region’s success, as the backbone of DOCG wines in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano. Yet the region’s prestige is today further enhanced by the evolution of the “Super Tuscan”, wines that now rank among some of Italy’s most refined. Failing to slot into any existing DOC or DOCG category, they are now largely classed as Toscana IGT in order to avoid the humble Vino da Tavola category.
