Le Calle di Catocci 'Poggio d'Oro' - Montecucco Riserva

In 2017, this remarkable wine hails from Tuscany, Italy. It's crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The Montecucco region, a relatively new player in the Italian wine world since its establishment in 1998, lies in southern Tuscany, near some of Montalcino's top wineries. While the winemaker's tale remains a well - guarded secret, the wines have won global acclaim. The Poggio d'Oro Reserve is not only made from 100% Sangiovese but also two - thirds of the grapes grown in the region are organically certified. This rich and complex wine offers leathery hints along with savory notes of eucalyptus, aged oak, chocolate, and cherries. With a robust structure, it pairs perfectly with roasted game birds and roasted potatoes.

To enjoy this wine, simply let it breathe for about 30 minutes before pouring. This helps to open up the flavors. Serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 64°F. When it comes to pairing, as mentioned, it goes great with roasted game birds and roasted potatoes. You can also try it with other red - meat dishes like grilled steak. Keep the wine stored in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes. Once opened, finish it within a few days, or you can use a wine preserver to keep it fresh for a bit longer.
