Description
Le Stanze is made from a special selection of cabernet sauvignon grapes from the best located parts of different vineyards, supplemented with a little bit of cabernet franc. It matures for twelve months in new 500 liter French oak barrels. As with the Elegia, the Toscana IGT qualification was chosen. The use of cabernet sauvignon alone is not permitted for wines with a DOC or DOCG. With an IGT, the oenologist is free to use as much Cabernet Sauvignon as he wants. This creates a wine with its own unique style. The recognition among the international wine press and enthusiasts shows that this has been a bull's eye. So this is called a Super Tuscan.
Le Stanze del Poliziano has aromas of concentrated cassis fruit, pepper, vanilla, a seductive and creamy wine, with delicious black fruit, herbs, ripe tannins and a beautiful length. Serve it with game, red meat or a hearty piece of cheese.

Frederico Carletti, the current owner of Azienda Agricola Poliziano, is responsible for a revolutionary change. Carletti has turned Poliziano into a real wine-producing company, which produces and bottles its own wines. He went to Piemonte to learn the profession of an enologist at the university. He then did internships with various wine producers to gain the necessary practical experience. Then it was time to realize his childhood dream. Since taking office in 1981, the company's star has risen rapidly. His innovations included the planting of new grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the creation of new wines, such as Le Stanze, Elegia and a Riserva from separate vineyards, such as the Vigna Asinone. With these showpieces, Carletti has won the hearts of wine lovers and has won numerous prizes at international competitions. Poliziano is now widely regarded as one of the great pioneers of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
