The Winemaking Process: from Vineyard to Bottle<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe harvest usually takes place from early September to mid-October, preferably from morning until noon to avoid the hottest hours of the day. During the harvest, the grapes are carefully selected and picked into 10\u201315 kg crates, to prevent the weight of the grapes on top from crushing those underneath. \n\nUpon arrival at the winery, the grapes are sorted and destemmed\u2014that is, the stems are removed and the berries placed in fermentation tanks, generally keeping the grapes from each vineyard separate. This stage can last anywhere from 5\u20136 days to as long as 18\u201320 days.\n\nAfter racking, the fresh wines are transferred into stainless steel tanks, where they complete alcoholic fermentation and undergo malolactic fermentation (the transformation of malic acid into lactic acid). This process naturally lowers acidity and produces pure, elegant wines.\n\nn late spring to early summer, the key activity is the preparation of the blends. This process requires time. It begins in late spring, as before then the wines are too closed to fully reveal their potential, and they continue to evolve. Between the first tests and the final blends, 4\u20136 months may pass.\nLuca Bonfio and Giacomo Sensi periodically taste the tanks containing the wines from the first fermentations. At the end of these tastings, they select the wines that will enter the final blends\u2014each in different proportions\u2014or that will be kept separate depending on their quality level. \n\nOnce this phase is completed, the wines are first transferred into stainless steel tanks and then into Slavonian oak barrels of various sizes for the maturation stage. After maturation, they are stored again in stainless steel tanks before bottling and a further period of bottle aging prior to shipment. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

Monteriggioni, la cerchia muraria perfetta, le quattordici torri possenti che ispirarono al Sommo Poeta la celebre similitudine coi giganti del pozzo di Malebolge, i silenzi medievali che ancora si respirano. In questo angolo della Toscana, laddove si ha davvero l\u2019impressione che il tempo si sia fermato al tredicesimo secolo, nel cuore del Chianti Senese, da oltre cinquant\u2019anni siamo proprietari della Tenuta Poggiolo, 230 ettari posati nella dolcezza delle colline. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
