Poggiotondo Chianti Superiore 2009
Tuscany, ItalyPoggiotondo is located on the west hills of the Chianti region. The vineyards of Alberto Antonini sit over a mix of limestone and marine sediment marked by ancient sea shells. Yes, delicate, chalky, minerality and florals mark the Chianti Superiore's cool nose. The palate is a mix of dark and mostly red fruits with more floral characters, minerality, dried herbs and spice with mild notes of oak. Round supple silky and with just enough tension to keep it fresh throughout. Stylish red wine for sophisticated sipper. Grilled chicken or beef would be great match.Tasted: 11 March 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Winspeer / Altovin |
