Tuscany, ItalyThe DOCG Poggiotondo is mostly sangiovese mixed with canaiolo and colorino grown on old marine soils at 100 metres above sea level. Antonini is a stickler for natural, pure wines, made with a mix of science and love. There is a high presence of old seashells in the soils that seem to energize the wine, adding elegance and complexity to its pure red and floral flavours, streaked with dried herbs and bright acidity. It's fermented in concrete tank and untoasted foudres to give it a creamy, silky palate. I love the balance and texture in this modern view of an old favourite.Tasted: 29 April 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Tuscany, ItalyAlluring aromas of red liquorice, cherry, raspberry carry along to the medium bodied, tight and grippy palate of this classically modern Chianti. There's a positive branchiness and herbaceousness holding this red tight, one splashed with caniolo and colorino to provide additional spice and florals. Fermented in concrete and aged in concrete and older large cask, this is tight and hemmed in now, but will relax in due time, revealing a gentle, expressive Chianti.Tasted: 27 March 2019Tasted by: Prices:
