Vigna Poggiale, a full-bodied Riserva from the single vineyard of the same name, is an extroverted classic drop. Dark fruits, blossoms, smoke and liquorice in the complex, differentiated bouquet. Admirably hamonic, the juicy taste is interwoven with silky tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ruby red with light garnet reflections. The nose shows intense aromas of ripe black cherries, notes of undergrowth, rhubarb, red wild roses, violets and spices. Harmonious in the mouth, with lively tannins and a fine spicy aftertaste of noble wood." Falstaff

"This elegant and tasty red wine made from 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino smells of wild berries, crushed mint, fragrant blue flowers and baking spices. The supple, elegant palate shows juicy Marasca cherry, star anise and mint, framed by polished tannins. It finishes with a hint of vanilla." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale is a deep, powerful wine endowed with depth. Wild cherry, tobacco, incense, leather and dried herbs add remarkable complexity to this virile, deceptively medium-bodied Riserva. A few years of ageing should work wonders here. Stylistically, the Poggiale has a little more new oak structure and sweetness than the pure Riserva." Vinous

"Strawberries, pomegranates, lemons, acacia flowers, cinnamon and sweet spices on the nose. Medium bodied with crisp acidity and slightly chewy tannins. Tangy and fresh with excellent drinkability." James Suckling

"Ripe dark cherry and plums with a hint of spices and dried herbs. Tannins exuberantly extracted yet in the end not too dry or bitter, it's an attractive and ambitious style." Decanter

"The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale shows dark, saturated fruit and medium aromatic intensity. Indeed, the wine takes a few moments to open up, offering dried fruits, grilled herbs, spices and white chocolate." Wine Advocate

"A Riserva of great reliability, from a single vineyard, a Sangiovese, with a contribution of Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo, of excellent flavour impact. On the nose, notes of red cherries with hints of quinotto, nutmeg and ibis. The mouthfeel is juicy, with a fruity and spicy finish." Luca Gardini
