2021 Poggerino Chianti Classico Nuovo, Tuscany, Italy
$49.99
After a careful selection in the vineyard the grapes are destemmed and pressed. The alcoholic fermentation begins without the addition of selected yeasts and proceeds at 28°/30°C. The entire process of vinification and maceration take place in concrete tanks for approximately 35 days with pumpovers and manual punchdowns. In December the new wine is racked to a cement egg of 6,5hl where the malolactic fermentation takes place. After ageing for 12 months the wine is bottled. The wine is aged for a minimum of 8 months before sale.

Our Favorite Radda
Poggerino's N'uovo is back! The expression of Sangiovese grown in Radda – Chianti Classico’s famous forested, high elevation zone – is simply one of Chris' favorites.
