The 2014 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale gives us a glimpse of a more streamlined and perhaps more elegant interpretation of this historic wine. This vintage is leaner and lighter in presentation, but it paints a pretty portrait of Sangiovese nonetheless. Sour cherry, cassis and mild spice converge on the bouquet. That characteristic acidity you get with this mighty Tuscan grape appears on the fresh close.<br/>
90 Wine Spectator
Starts out with cherry, leather, thyme, tobacco and earth notes. The firm, dusty tannins take over and line the finish. In the traditional style. Best from 2018 through 2025. 850 cases made.
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.
