Made by Piero and Benedetta Lanza, the Poggerino 2018 Chianti Classico shows clean and classic lines with small berry fruit, cassis and wild raspberry that fall together with delicate precision. As the wine warms in the glass, it begins to show some crushed mineral or limestone with light ash and smoke. The finish is lean and silky and would be well-accompanied by a plate of rolled-up mortadella, prosciutto and capocollo.

A straightforward, appealing style, this balanced red displays cherry, plum, almond and spice flavors, lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 3,750 cases made, 1,100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
