Producer details
Polissena is a work of love towards one of Tuscany’s most representative grape varieties, Sangiovese. The vineyard from which is produced is planted on a schistose soil featuring excellent drainage, perfect for it. It’s an elegant wine that surprises with its strong yet refined character.

After a winter with slightly above-average temperatures, the 2019 vintage was characterized by a mild spring and rainfall that restored the winter water deficit. The climate trend in summer was regular, with few rains that balanced the summer heat.
In autumn, the high-temperature ranges between day and night led to an optimal grape ripening. The high quality of the harvest resulted in outstanding wines.
