Like their Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the wine is bold and delicious, and at home on humble dining tables as well as the worlds’ finest restaurants, or in collectors’ cellars.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese from organic hillside vineyards — some of the highest in the area.
We continue to be inspired by the Super Tuscans. But we do not claim to be super, instead we make an Extra Tuscan Wine by placing the character of the vineyards first, and blending native Sangiovese to best articulate Bolgheri’s true terroir.
The organically farmed vineyards are some of the highest in the region of Bolgheri, nestled along the ridgeline of hilltop town of Castegento Carducci.
Our terroir benefits by this altitude and exposure to cooling coastal breezes, giving us more freshness than many of the region’s wine. But it is the vineyard soils which give Poggio Lamentano its special character. The mixed ‘galestro’ clay and sandy soils lend supple tannins, and earthy spice, whilst the calcareous soil, rare to the area give a stony, fine minerality to our wine. Fermentation and maturation take place in steel, and cement to maintain this vibrant vineyard character.
