Why You'll Love It
Rich and generous, with a soft touch of sweetness balanced by fresh acidity and firm tannins. Cherry and plum flavours are joined by toasted oak and savoury detail, giving this plenty of presence at the table. A good match for slow-cooked beef, lamb or a piece of mature hard cheese.
About The Producer
Il Poggiarello is rooted in the Val Trebbia and the hills around Piacenza in Emilia-Romagna, a region where wine has long been part of the local food culture. Its vineyards are farmed organically, and its range combines local varieties with a willingness to experiment.
Alongside traditional Piacenza styles, the producer makes wines such as Cecco that take a more contemporary approach to blending and ripeness. The intention is to keep the area's character at the centre of the wines: generous fruit, useful freshness and a natural place alongside the region's substantial cooking.

Winemaking Information
A blend of Barbera, Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes are harvested by hand, with a proportion picked late to increase ripeness and concentration. A long, temperature-controlled maceration is followed by around twelve months in French oak barriques; new barrels are used for the portion made from later-picked fruit. A short period in stainless steel follows before bottling. The producer's published specification gives 14 g/L residual sugar, contributing a gentle sweetness to the finished wine.
