The Rosso Alta Valle della Greve IGT “Il Carbonaione” by Poggio Scalette is a wine of exceptional expression and finesse, embodying the authentic spirit of Tuscany. Born from the vineyards located in one of the most prestigious areas of the region, this wine is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, carefully selected from old plants that deeply root in the fertile soils of Greve in Chianti.
Its winemaking follows traditional methods with an innovative touch, including fermentation in steel tanks followed by a long aging in French oak barriques. This process gives “Il Carbonaione” a complex structure and a perfect harmony between soft tannins and rich aromas of ripe fruits, spices, and a slight balsamic note.
With a deep ruby color, this wine offers intense scents of blackberries, plums, and cocoa on the nose, enriched by nuances of tobacco and leather. On the palate, it is full, enveloping, and persistently elegant, with a long finish that revisits the tones of ripe and spiced fruit.
Ideal to pair with rich meat dishes, such as roasts and stews, “Il Carbonaione” by Poggio Scalette also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and mushroom-based dishes. It is a wine for meditation, that can also be enjoyed alone, reflecting on its evolution in the glass.
This wine not only represents an excellent choice for connoisseurs but can also be considered a precious gift for those wishing to discover an authentic jewel of Tuscan viticulture.
