Tegolato I.G.T.

Tegolato wines have a rich history, but their production was discontinued in 2006. However, in 2018 Anthony Cobuccio, owner of Antico Castello di Poppiano and Andrea Pizzolato decided to continue the tradition. Now their first new vintage (2018) is available in our webshop.

The wine is produced only in years when the climate is favorable. The seasonal conditions give the grapes all the characteristics necessary to obtain a wine with a high alcohol content that is robust and persistent. The wine is made from quality grapes specially selected through years of experience. The wine is then aged for a year on the roof tiles (Tegolato) of the castle. Before drinking, it is important to let the wine air the same number of years as the number of hours.

The Tegolato of Antico Castello di Poppiano is a unique wine because of the way it ages on the tiles of the castle after bottling; in fact, it owes its name to the long exposure on the roof tiles (Tegolato) of the castle. The natural elements of aging on the roof give this wine an accelerated fermentation in the bottle and a specific flavor and bouquet profile.

The Tegolato has a deep ruby red color.

The wine has an intense bouquet with fruity and earthy notes.

A full complex flavor with hints of cherry, coffee and black fruit.

Serving temperature: 18-20° C
