Let’s talk about Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG - Il Poggiolino

More questions

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG - Il Poggiolino is born in the heart of Tuscany, in the renowned Chianti Classico area, where the combination of clay-limestone soils and the typically Mediterranean climate give the main Sangiovese a unique personality.

This wine, the result of rigorously selected grapes and careful winemaking, stands out for its aging in oak barrels that enhances the tannic structure and aromatic complexity. In the glass, it presents an intense ruby color with garnet reflections.

On the nose, it offers elegant aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry, and plum, enriched by delicate spicy notes of black pepper and earthy hints reminiscent of the undergrowth. The taste is full-bodied, balanced, with lively freshness and a long persistence that pleasantly accompanies the palate.

Ideal paired with typical Tuscan cuisine dishes, such as bistecca alla fiorentina or game sauces.

Over time the property has expanded while preserving its commitment to traditional viticulture and to promoting the local area.
Production philosophy
The estate prioritizes quality and respect for the land: artisanal care in the vineyard and careful oversight of every production stage, thanks to a vertically integrated model that combines its own vineyards and winery. The approach focuses on selecting the best grapes and on limited production when the vintages require it.
