Bright and well-endowed with pure cherry, raspberry and black currant fruit, shaded by tobacco, licorice, and mineral flavours. Elegant, intense and persistent, with a long aftertaste of fruit and mineral. Chianti is the ultimate food wine, drink this overflowing from a tumbler with a big bowl of slow cooked rabbit ragu.
Past Accolades and Awards:
JAMES HALLIDAY 96 "Poggerino is a benchmark for the region, due to the meticulous work in the vineyard and winery by Piero Lanza and his sister, Benedetta, this edition captures the freshness and clarity of the vintage, while offering the inherent complexity of Radda in Chianti; layered, linear and with seriously mouthcoating, ripe tannins, this is exactly the sort of wine that will disappear from the bottle quickly and have you reaching for another".
From the Winery: The winery's largest production (about 40.000 bottles per year). It is made from Sangiovese 100%. The wine spends one year in barriques before being aged in bottle. Its colour is light ruby, with aromas of blackberries, cherries and redcurrant, with a touch of licorice and vanilla spice. The tannins are sweet and persistent. Recommended with spicy-sauced pasta and mild-tasting red meats
