WINE DESCRIPTION
Castello di Farnetella Poggio Granoni Toscana is made using a blend of Italian and French varieties, including Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The vineyards come from the Poggio Granoni micro-zone at Farnetella in the commune of Sinalunga, located in the rolling Tuscan hillsides. The vines are planted at high elevation on soils composed mostly of sand and silt. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats, before being transferred to French oak barrels for around 12 months. Following cask maturation, the final blend is created, bottled and aged for a further 8-10 months prior to its release.
