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.

The story
The estate traces its roots to the area around Badia a Passignano. The family villa dates back to the early 20th century and, after several phases of development, the estate became the property of Carlo Pacini in 1974. 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.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Chianti Classico, the estate is on Via Chiantigiana, with vineyards planted at approximately 320–400 metres above sea level. The landscape is typical of the Chianti hills, well suited to Sangiovese.
