Poggio Regio is produced exclusively from carefully selected, perfectly ripe grapes. Hand-harvested grapes are immediately destemmed and crushed, followed by alcoholic fermentation and skin maceration for about 20 days. After racking, the wine is transferred into new French oak barriques for malolactic fermentation. Aging in wood lasts 12 months, followed by bottling and 6 months of bottle aging.
