Poggio Bonelli Chianti Classico Riserva 2017
Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyThis historic property has quite a storied lineage, passing from noble and important families over the centuries. This 800ha property has 88 ha of vines, with 18ha in Chianti Classico, split over 12 different plots. This 100% sangiovese grows on alluvial soils dotted with calcareous pebbles, at 300-400m. After a native ferment in stainless, this moved into concrete for a few weeks prior to 2 years aging in French tonneaux. Dark and sultry, with black cherry, black raspberry wrapped with enveloping, finely structural tannins. There is beautiful freshness and elegance carrying this long along the palate, to a gently spiced, warming finish. Much time ahead yet.Tasted: 08 March 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
