The Wines …
Podere della Bruciata 2019 Tizzo IGT
- Pugnitello -
Made from an indigenous grape variety that is quite possibly the father of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo; the wine spends 18 months in large barrels: pretty cherry with good tannins. (*** ½+)
Podere della Bruciata 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulcino - Cesiro 
- Sangiovese -
This is a less than a hectare single vineyard Sangiovese ... Gentle and fruity, the wine is subtle and elegant, with plenty of cherry notes. (****)
Podere della Bruciata 2019 Nonostante Tutto (despite everything)
- Petit Verdot -
Considered a Super Tuscan: Cassis and blackberry with gentle herbs and a spice component. (****)
Podere della Bruciata 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano - Ermete
- Sangiovese / Colorino / Canaiolo -
A single vineyard field blend taken from 3/4 hectare ... juicy and pleasant with cherry and subtle spices; there's even a note of minerality on the finish. (****+)
Podere della Bruciata 2021 Barcaiolo - Chianti Colli Senesi
- Sangiovese-
A rustic style of wine with good acidity and nice tannins. (*** ½)
