Winery Technical Data
Madre is a perfectly balanced wine with a flavorful texture that fills the mouth with finesse but without a hint of aggression. This rich and powerful red has wonderful aging potential, as its abundant fruit and well integrated tannins soften with time. Born with the 2001 vintage, "Madre" was the first blended wine produced by Poggio Antico. It is named after the "Madre" homestead, which is part of the Poggio Antico estate. The wine is made with 50% of Sangiovese (Brunello) and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. After harvest these two grape varietals are aged separately for eighteen months in new 500-liter tonneaux of French oak. The two varietals are then blended and refined in the bottle for an additional eight months before being released.
