Appearance & Nose
01This Poggio Croce Chianti Classico Riserva presents a luminous ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful vibrancy, and offers an intensely fragrant bouquet of ripe cherry, wild blackberry, and a subtle whisper of dried violet. The nose also reveals intriguing notes of leather and a touch of earthy truffle, characteristic of a well-aged Sangiovese from this esteemed appellation.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it delivers a beautifully structured and full-bodied experience, with a lively acidity that balances the generous tannins and a long, lingering finish that echoes the fruit and savory nuances. The wine's complexity unfolds with each sip, revealing hints of tobacco and a satisfying mineral edge that speaks to its Tuscan terroir.
