Poggiotondo Chianti 2015
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:| BC | $22.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
