Poggio ai Chiari Toscana IGT Sangiovese

Il Poggio ai Chiari is a wine that expresses the typical elegance of great Tuscan Sangioveses. The unique location of the vineyard and the careful winemaking practices allow for the creation of a fine, elegant wine capable of aging for many years, improving and developing a bouquet of rare complexity. The typical notes of red fruit gradually evolve into more complex tertiary aromas such as spices, leather, cinnamon, and nutmeg, which support a palate of rare elegance where the tannic structure reveals a silkiness found only in great red wines from highly esteemed viticultural areas, like the Santa Mustiola region in Chiusi.
