Description
The Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio a’ Frati by Rocca di Castagnoli is a wine of great complexity, gustatory structure and elegance. It has an intense and brilliant red color. The aroma is rich in notes of small red and spicy fruits. It has enveloping, complex and persistent aromas that highlight the cherry and ripe morello cherry, with a beautiful spicy and balsamic finish. The refinement in the bottle leads it to acquire a valuable elegance and persuasive taste. The Rocca di Castagnoli stands out from the heart of the Chianti Classico, on a hill that the Etruscans already knew very well: surrounded by woods, vineyards and olive trees, it dominates the valley of Gaiole in Chianti from the top of a hill that brings the mind back to ancient times . The geological characteristics of Castagnoli, with deep soils, rich in limestone and skeleton, together with a particular climate characterized by important temperature variations and the careful clonal selection of the vineyards, help to produce complex, pleasant, elegant wines with such a structure and acidity making them suitable even for long aging.
