2024 Poderi Sanguineto I e II Toscana Rosato

The wine opens with clean, restrained aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, and blood orange, followed by subtle notes of dried herbs and wet stone. On the palate, it is fresh and linear, driven by bright acidity and a lightly savory mineral character. Red berry fruit remains just-ripe rather than sweet, balanced by citrus zest and a faint saline note. Texture is fine and lightly grippy, reflecting Sangiovese’s natural structure even in rosato form. The finish is dry and precise, with gentle herbal bitterness and lingering freshness rather than overt fruit weight.

Podere Sanguineto is a small, family-run estate located in the Valdichiana area near Montepulciano, in southeastern Tuscany. The estate has been farmed by the Dei family for generations, with current stewardship focused on low-intervention viticulture and an emphasis on expressing local conditions rather than chasing international styles. Farming is organic, with careful attention to soil health, biodiversity, and restrained yields. In the cellar, fermentations rely on native yeasts, sulfur use is conservative, and oak is used sparingly, if at all, depending on the cuvée.
