Descrizione

The Rosso di Montepulciano DOC produced by the renowned Poliziano winery is a celebrated example that captures the essence of Tuscan viticulture. This wine, primarily flavored by Sangiovese grapes, emerges from the Montepulciano region, known for its winemaking history and its clayey and galestro-rich soil.

The Poliziano winery, founded in 1961, has always distinguished itself for its dedication to quality and innovation while respecting tradition. Through meticulous use of wood and carefully monitored vinification, they have created a Rosso di Montepulciano that is both immediately accessible and capable of gracefully aging.

Visually, the wine presents a lively ruby red color that tends slightly towards garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet where notes of ripe cherries, subtle spices, and a slight hint of vanilla—due to barrel aging—stand out. On the palate, it is round and well-balanced, with sweet tannins that blend perfectly with the typical acidity of Sangiovese. The aftertaste is persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of fruit and spices.

Ideal for accompanying Tuscan dishes such as pappa al pomodoro or bistecca alla fiorentina, this wine expresses the best of the character and passion of the land from which it comes. A sip of the Rosso di Montepulciano DOC Poliziano represents not just a tasting but an experience that engages all the senses, carrying with it the tradition and innovation of one of the most esteemed producers in the region.

Winery history

The estate was born from the commitment of the Carletti family: Dino Carletti started the business in 1961, focusing on specialized vineyards, and over the decades ownership and production expanded to become one of the most significant realities in the Montepulciano area. The Vino Nobile produced by the estate has been firmly established in the local scene since the late 1960s, and management has passed to subsequent generations, with continuous investments in both vineyard and cellar.

Production philosophy

Production focused on estate-grown grapes, with attention to the relationship between terroir and native varieties, a balance between tradition and technological updates in the vineyard and cellar, and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
