Todi DOC Pottarello

Agri Segretum

Pottarello translates into “little kid” in Umbrian dialect. It’s a mix of Sangiovese (80%), Malvasia Nera (10%) and Colorino (10%). The Sangiovese used in Pottarello is picked from vineyard rows 46 to 75, where the biotype is particularly thin clustered and with much smaller berries than those of its more common Sangiovese siblings. Smaller berries mean more skin, which translates into more extraction of color and polyphenols. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and remains in contact with skins for about 3 weeks. It’s during this time that we perform the classic manual follatura, (punch downs), by mixing and stirring of juice and skin). After separation of skins, the finished wine is transferred into tonneaux (500 litre/150 gallon French oak barrels), where it ages for about 12 months before resting another 9 months in bottle. Classified as Todi DOC Rosso, Pottarello is the very essence of Umbria, squeezed into a bottle.

This is a full-bodied wine, the Sangiovese provides structure and tannin, the Malvasia adds notes of wild berries and the Colorino just a hint of spice.
