The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale represents a special selection of fruit from Castellina in Chianti (95% Sangioveto is blended with 5% Canaiolo). Within the quality ladder of the estate, this wine exhibits a big style departure from the other wines placed below it. The bouquet here is much fuller and richer with a greater composition of fruit, spice, leather and tobacco characteristics. There is a very specific note of cinnamon or crushed clove that seems linked to this wine only. This wine ages in barrique for 18 months. Some 10,000 bottles were produced.
