Poggerino’s Riserva is a selection of the smallest bunches from the estate’s oldest vineyard. It sees a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in concrete tanks lasting up to 50 days. While ageing is in medium-sized Slavonian oak casks, there's a hint of toast and wood spice to begin. Alluring cinnamon nuances meld with cedar and balsamic herbs. With layers of grainy tannins and compact fruit, this is one of Radda’s more powerful examples, yet it still sports the high-altitude township’s bracing acidity. Stony minerals add further depth to this multi-faceted wine.
