Description

The Alicante Toscana IGT from Poggio al Tufo is born in the volcanic lands of Maremma, a region that imparts a unique minerality and a strong character to the grape varieties. This wine, made primarily from the Alicante grape, expresses on the palate a balance between structure and softness thanks to a skillful refinement that enhances its aromatic complexity.

In color, it presents an intense red with violet reflections, while on the nose it opens with scents of ripe red fruit, sweet spices, and subtle herbal notes, an expression of the Maremma terroir. The sip is enveloping, with soft tannins and a pleasant persistence reminiscent of licorice and plum.

Perfectly paired with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or rustic dishes typical of Tuscan cuisine, the Alicante from Poggio al Tufo represents an elegant and territorial synthesis for those seeking an authentic and personality-rich wine experience.

Winery history

The property began as a project of Tommasi Family Estates to expand production beyond Valpolicella. The acquisition of land in the Pitigliano area dates back to the late 1990s, and since then the company has developed the Rompicollo, Albore and Doganella estates, renovating the farmhouse and planting vineyards aimed at producing Tuscan blends and single-varietal wines.

Production philosophy

Terroir-focused approach and pedoclimatic research: vineyard zoning, selection of suitable clones and rootstocks, high planting density and thinning techniques to prioritize the quality and character of the fruit, with attention to the typical expressions of the Maremma and its tuffaceous soils.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates are located in the Tuscan Maremma, around Pitigliano and Scansano. The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate and sit on tuffaceous soils of volcanic origin that influence minerality and water retention, with distinct microzones such as Rompicollo, Albore and Doganella.
