Villa Poggio Salvi Rosso di Montalcino 2024 (750ml)

Seasonal conditions: The 2024 vintage was a year divided into 3 distinct moments following a winter that was not too harsh and with temperatures in the average range. The months of May and June were extremely rainy with very cool temperatures greatly delaying the flowering phase. July and August, on the other hand, were extremely hot and dry followed by a cool September with several rains. The harvest took place during the first days of October bringing to the winery grapes with lower sugar content and higher aromas and acidity, an "old style" harvest very similar to those of the 90s!
