Tasting notes
The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale (a blend of 90% Sangioveto, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Ciliegiolo) reveals darkly saturated fruit and medium aromatic intensity. Indeed, the wine takes a few moments to open, offering dried fruit, grilled herb, spice and white chocolate. This medium-bodied red represents a release of 12,000 bottles.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale is a deep, potent wine endowed with quite a bit of depth. Wild cherry, tobacco, incense, leather and dried herbs lend notable complexity to this virile, deceptively mid-weight Riserva. A few years of cellaring should work wonders here. Stylistically, the Poggiale has a bit more textural weight and new oak sweetness than the straight Riserva.
