Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah are harvested during the last two weeks of September and into the first week of October. The grapes are macerated twice per day for a period of 15 days. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and lasts four months. It undergoes a further refinement in the bottle for at least two months before being put on the market.
The Poggio la Mozza Estate extends 55 hectares set in the rolling hills typical of Maremma between the Comune of Grosseto to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Poggio La Mozza lies entirely in the district of D.O.C.G. Morellino di Scansano. Its 35 hectares of vineyards are planted in sandy soils at an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level. This gives rise to red wines with soft, elegant tannins.
