Poggio alla Guardia

Sangiovese & Sangiovese-Based Blends

Poggio alla Guardia a benchmark wine, the third label released, from the great project of Rocca di Frassinello. But a wine with a very marked personality: spicy but very easy to drink. This wine is a wonderful introduction to the winery's other labels of great aged wines. 

Tasting Notes

Plums, chocolate, spices and herbs emerge spontaneously. Clean mineral notes outline the finish and confer an attractive element of freshness

Food Pairing

Poggio alla Guardia pairs well with roasted meats, stews and mature cheeses.
