Baccarossa

In order to find the roots of Poggio Le Volpi Company we have to make a leap back of almost a century. Everything began in 1920, when Manlio Mergè starts his production of wine and oil. His passion for the land is first transmitted to his son Armando and then to his grandson Felice. Both transform the dream of grandfather Manlio into reality, founding in 1996 the Poggio le Volpi Farm in Monte Porzio Catone.This is a volcanic origin area, herefore its is inherently fertile. Poggio le Volpi represents the first business turning point of the family company.
If Armando started the Monte Porzio Catone production and the transformation of the company from local to a national one, Felice, following the business inclination of his father,becomes enologist leading the company into the circle of the most interesting winemaking companies in terms of production in the Lazio region, achieving high appreciation amongst the national and international niche wine lovers.
Felice Mergè cultivates a modern and varied winemaking tradition, typical of eclectic and ambitious people, just like Manlio and Armando Mergé.
Since 1920 the Mergè story is about territory, passion and quality.

The Baccarossa wine of Poggio Le Volpi comes from the indigenous Lazio grape variety Nero Buono, present in particular in the province of Latina, grown on hilly terrain of volcanic origin exposed to sea winds. The grapes are pressed softly, and the must ferments at controlled temperature by macerating in contact with the grapes. Aging for at least 12 months takes place in barriques of woods of various sizes, types and roasting. The peculiar characteristics of the terroir and the careful processing, give life to a structured, dense and fragrant wine, with a lively tannin that pleasantly surprises the palate.
