Elegant, subdued and streamlined, the 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale offers those three cornerstone qualities of excellent Sangiovese. The wine also shows excellent value. This Chianti Classico Riserva pleases all the senses thanks to bright berry flavors and fresh acidity. Spice, leather and crushed stone appear as background tones. The wine sees 20% new oak and the rest is aged in neutral barrel. Some 14,000 bottles are produced.
Producer
Domini Castellare di Castellina
Selected for its proven reputation and endless potential, Paolo Panerai purchased the Castellare di Castellina in the late 1970s. Under his guidance and constant attention, the winery grew into one of Tuscany’s most innovative producers. Their flagship wine, I Sodi di San Niccolò, pushes the limits, proving that native grapes can produce a product with just as much power and grace. The wine captures the unimaginable greatness of the Sangioveto (Sangiovese) grape. Along with their award winning wines, the Castellare di Castellina’s property is absolutely beautiful. A trip to the vineyard will impress any nature-lover. You can observe the natural environment that surrounds this wonderful winery within their wildlife refuge. The estate’s appreciation of nature is even further exhibited with a different bird representing each vintage on their labels.
