Chianti Classico DOCG 2019 (BIO)
Our pure enthusiasm for this authentic and wonderfully traditional Chianti Classico, which the likeable Monica Raspi and her family have been presenting to us for years: light ruby red, finely spicy, with refined depth of fruit, well proportioned on the palate, powerful, elegant structure, classic acidity and Sangiovese style, racy and mineral final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby, slightly lightening rim. Smells of ripe cherries, violets and cloves on the nose. Round and supple on the attack, opening with grippy, savoury tannins, final with good depth and richness." Falstaff
"Lustrous mid ruby. Deep but understated and a little shy on the nose. Supple elegant and mouth-filling but still a little closed. Finely balanced and long and ends a little racy." Jancis Robinson
"The 2019 Chianti Classico is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Incense, pipe tobacco, crushed leaves and earthy notes add nuance to a core of dried red cherry fruit. The 2019 is a very pretty wine." Vinous
"The aromatic fruit character of this wine is so clearly defined that a sniff made me feel victorious - I began seeing red cherries lined up and could hear the slot machine shooting out coins. It's a gloriously primary fresh fruity nose, precise cherry and pink grapefruit aromas matched by equivalent clarity on the palate. The fruit is ripe and sweet while the acidity tempers the warm, juicy fruit and the tannins offer crunch. Delectable, invigorating, simple but not banale; an excellent wine for any meal." Decanter

Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2017 (BIO)
Monica Raspi produces her Riserva from a single vineyard with the oldest vines of the winery, planted in 2000. The east-facing vineyard is at an altitude of 350 metres and the soil is poor and stony with many limestone deposits. With its subtle bouquet, it slowly but surely seduces with aromas of raspberries, cherries and thyme flowers. The palate is wonderfully elegant, with a stony minerality and a tangy, appetising backbone. Terracotta-like tannins sneak up and envelop the fruit rather than undermine it. This is how pristine and good Chianti Classico Riserva goes! SUPERIORE.DE
"Mid to deep ruby. Finely spiced nose but rather closed on the fruit. Generous but focused fruit palate, and a layer of coating tannins gives the whole shape. Very dense yet balanced." Jancis Robinson
"The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva offers up a compelling mélange of kirsch, raspberry, cedar, spice and mint. The radiance of the vintage comes through, and yet there is plenty of Sangiovese acidity and grip to balance things out. The 2017 Riserva is another terrific showing from Pomona." Vinous
"Cherry, raspberry and floral flavors are the main themes in this red, with supporting notes of iron, tar and Tuscan scrub. Burly tannins also emerge on the finish, yet this stays balanced and long." Wine Spectator

Pomona (meaning "the fertile one") was the name of the goddess of gardens and crops for the ancient Romans. She gave her name to the vineyard located in the heart of the Senes Chianti region. The land is located nine kilometres from Siena and eight kilometres from Castellina. The manor buildings, farmhouses, storehouses and cellars belonging to Villa Pomona have been preserved in their original structure to this day. The estate is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, forests and pastures. The owners' early declared goal of producing an original, traditional Chianti is still consistently pursued today.
The five hectares of hillside vineyard face south/southeast. The soil consists of calcareous marl. More than 90 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sangiovese, Colorino and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards, which are cultivated in an environmentally friendly manner, are five to 25 years old. When cultivating the vineyards, the estate owners pay particular attention to a balanced care of the soil and a harmonious development of the vines.
The history of Villa Pomona dates back to the second half of the 18th century. At that time, the estate was still called Fattoria Ricceri after the name of the owners at the time. The estate also included a brickyard. In 1899, the estate was acquired by Bandino Bandini, an ancestor of the owners. He successfully devoted himself to agriculture and also gave the farm its present name. Thanks to the brickyard, Pomona was subsequently able to expand considerably. Wine cellars and an oil mill were added, where olives from neighbouring estates were also ground. With the end of the half-lease, activities gradually declined. The estate fell into disrepair until Enzo Raspi, Bandino's grandson, had renovations carried out and renewed the cultivation of wine and olives. Today, Enzo's daughter Monica successfully continues the estate's work. The small agriturismo also reflects the naturalness and closeness to nature of the family. SUPERIORE.DE
