Description: Poggio al Granchio is a magical place for environmental and landscape value: this area of Montalcino is characterized by soils rich in marl, particularly precious for Brunello. Its name "Poggio al Granchio" derives from a very small pond in the center of the property, under an imposing holm oak tree, where cute and viscous freshwater crabs are found inside. The production technique after the grapes are harvested by hand, they undergo a pre-fermentation maceration at a low temperature (5-6° c); fermentation takes place with a special control of temperatures (not over 27°C), pumping over and dèlastage techniques in order to enhance the fruity and mineral component of the wine.
