2022 Pocorosso
2022 Pocorosso
Very much a wine of the vintage, lighter and more nimble than the 21, high-toned cherry fruit and lifted acidity.
Cuvée: Pocorosso 2022

Colour: Red
Grapes/Blend: 80% Procanico, 20% mix of Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, and Greghetto.

Patrizia Montanari and Massimo Antonuzi attentively farm four hectares across a patchwork of parcels between Gradoli and Latera, overlooking the volcanic Lake Bolsena in Lazio. Inspired by the humble and pure wines Massimo’s grandfather produced from some of these parcels, all varieties are macerated gently, wines are raised in oak and chestnut barrels in limestone caves, with nothing added at any stage.
