Poggerino

Rarely does a smaller grower chianti classico not pick a camp; lean into its local roots and stand firm. This is a rare beauty that reaches across geographic lines to adopt the best of the entire appellation. If Chianti Classico is often compared to Bordeaux, this is wine touting a penchant towards Burgundy, with high-strung red fruit, tart cherry leading the way, diving into blue and black fruit with charm and ease. A sturdy yet supple spine drives the sottobosco flavors from start to finish making this a wonder on its own but an even better pal at the table. This is a masterclass in balance and typicity on display. A certified organic true classico; wine of the year in Chianti Classico candidate without question. Outstanding.
