More questions
The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG from Il Poggiolino is born in the heart of Tuscany, in one of the most prestigious areas for the production of Sangiovese. This wine expresses with intensity and finesse the typical character of the hilly territory of Siena, where climate and soils favor a perfect aromatic balance. The prolonged aging in wooden barrels contributes to giving structure and complexity, enriching the bouquet with scents of ripe cherry, delicate spices, and slight balsamic notes.
On the palate, the Chianti Classico Riserva is distinguished by an elegant tannic texture well integrated with a fresh acidity, which ensures a persistent and harmonious finish. This combination of power and refinement makes it ideal to accompany typical Tuscan dishes such as roasted meats or aged cheeses, enhancing the gastronomic experience with its enveloping and nuanced profile.

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.
