Description
IL Poggerino NUOVO Chianti Classico 2021 is a 100% Sangiovese which has the particularity of finishing the refinement in concrete EGG where it remains for at least 8 months. There is therefore no passage in wood, but the objective is clear: to let the Sangiovese express itself at its best. Brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose graphite, tobacco and red flowered fruits. On the palate it is complex, with sweet and persistent tannins.
Piero and Benedetta Lanza have been running Poggerino since the end of the 1980s, when they took to heart the fate of this company in Radda in Chianti followed up until then by their father. Piero takes care of the 11 hectares of vineyard and with extreme passion and competence lets the full potential of the Poggerino terroir be expressed through the Sangiovese. Great attention to detail: biodynamic agriculture, careful choice of settlers to plant, cover crops, manual harvest. Every choice is made to ensure that the grapes have the best possible combination of concentration, acidity and ripe tannins. Exclusive use of indigenous yeasts, modern winemaking techniques, and aging in barrels complete the process.
