Villa Pomona

Our pure enthusiasm for this pure, authentic, wonderfully traditional Chianti Classico, which the very likeable Ingeborg Raspi Juergens and her family have been presenting to us for years: Ruby red, finely spiced, with a refined depth of fruit, well proportioned on the palate, powerful, elegant structure, intense final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Pretty, balsamic nose hinting at rich cherry fruit and with saline hints. Compact fruit that is not entirely open yet, followed by some fierce tannins. It will be interesting to see what this looks like in two years’ time." Jancis Robinson

Intense ruby red with a hint of orange, the bouquet is reminiscent of red berries, leather, liquorice and pepper. Well structured, elegant and persistent. An original, finely balanced Chianti Classico Riserva. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wild berry, iris, tilled soil new leather and a whiff of Asian spice unfold on this radiant red. The palate has elegant structure and balance, offering black cherry, chopped mint and star anise framed in firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Intense ruby red. In the bouquet notes of red berries, leather, liquorice and pepper. Well structured, elegant and persistent. An original, finely balanced Chianti Classico Riserva. SUPERIORE.DE

"Shining Ruby. Fragrant rosy nose, ripe cherry, fine spice notes. Juicy drink with crisp tannin, stretches nicely, flows gently, good length." Falstaff

"Lustrous ruby. Ripe cherry fruit with the merest hint of fruit cake. Fantastic lift of acidity supporting ripe cherry fruit and long tannins on the palate and with salty, minerally hints on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"Monica Raspi crafts her Riserva from a single vineyard of the estate's oldest vines which were planted in 2000. East-facing, it sits at 350 metres and the soil is lean and rocky with lots of calcium carbonate deposits. Subtly fragrant, this seduces slowly but surely whispering of raspberry, cherry and thyme blossom. The palate is wonderfully elegant offering a stony minerality and a tangy, hunger inducing backbone. Terracotta-like tannins sneak up enfolding rather than subverting the fruit." Decanter

"Deep, lustrous ruby. Earthy cherry fruit on the nose with a suggestion of blackcurrant. Intense, rich, ripe and mouth-filling with grainy tannins adding interest and tension. Impressive length and generosity of fruit." Jancis Robinson
