Igt Bianco di Toscana
Indicazione Geografica Tipica
Quercia al Poggio Bianco di Toscana is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes in limited quantities. It comes from a careful selection of still-unripe bunches harvested during the green harvest at the end of August.
This wine is born from a desire to innovate and further explore the potential of Sangiovese—renowned for reds, yet equally remarkable for the freshness and aromatic clarity it can express when picked early, also in a white-wine style. Once at the winery, the grapes are placed in a chilled tank, and the juice is immediately drawn off by saignée to avoid colour extraction from the skins. Fermented at 13°C, it is bottled in the first months of the year following the harvest.
