Chianti Biologico
2023
See the Poggiotondo detail page for more information on this brand
Soil of marine origin, calcareous with a high presence of white sea shells that impart mineralogy and energy to the wines. Owing to the proximity of the Mediterranean, the western part of Chianti region has a milder climate resulting in a good balance of the wines.
The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then fermented in temperature-controlled cement tanks with their indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine ages for 50% in concrete tanks and 50% in large untoasted 54hl barrels, before being blended. This is followed by refinement for a few months in the bottle.
Lively ruby red colour. On the nose hints of dried oregano with aromas of cherry, both red and dark. On the palate the ripe cherry balances well with the full-bodied tannins typical of traditional Chianti, and rises vibrantly thanks to the fresh acidity of the finish.
Certified organic since the 2014 vintage, this Chianti is aged in a combination of oak and concrete tanks. It has a concentrated if fairly simplistic character, with wild spicy notes joined by cherry and bright raspberry on the lightly tannic palate, finishing with woody notes from the oak.
