Descrizione

Se c’è un vino con il quale abbiamo voluto ridefinire, accrescendolo, il concetto di eccellenza enologica toscana, questo è senza dubbio il “Poggio Miniera” Val di Cornia.

Un vino, da sangiovese 100%, nato in un territorio sconosciuto fino a pochi anni fa, ma ricchissimo di storia e soprattutto caratterizzato da un terroir unico, capace di permettere la produzione di un vino dalle incredibili potenzialità (anche di invecchiamento) e da una gamma meravigliosa di aromi e profumi che sono lo specchio aromatico del territorio in cui il vino è nato.

Vendemmia manuale in cassette; fermentazione con macerazione in serbatoi di acciaio a temperatura controllata (max 26°C) con rimontaggi giornalieri e délestage; al termine della fermentazione alcolica si procede ad una macerazione post-fermentativa a 32°C per qualche giorno. Dopo la svinatura il vino permane in acciaio fino alla fine dell’inverno per poi essere calato in botti di rovere per circa un anno. Il tutto si completa con un lungo affinamento in bottiglia.

Winery history

The estate is located on the site of former lignite and magnesite mines: the main building was once the terminal station of the Casino di Terra–Monterufoli railway. During the 20th century the area passed through several historic owners before becoming part of Tenute del Cerro. In recent decades its agricultural focus has been strengthened through new vineyard plantings and by enhancing the agritourism and dining facilities at the Villetta di Monterufoli.

Production philosophy

The estate aims to express the character of the terroir by combining biodiversity conservation with sustainable agricultural practices: it has started producing Vermentino and embarked on a path toward organic farming, situating its winemaking activities within a large natural park.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate is located in the hilly band between Val di Cornia and Val di Cecina, in the province of Pisa, at elevations between approximately 150 and 500 meters above sea level. The landscape includes woodlands, thermal springs and mineral deposits that characterize the area's soils.
