Fattoria Poggerino Chianti Classico Riserva 2020

After a careful selection in the vineyard the grapes are destemmed and pressed. Manually harvested the last week in September.

The alcoholic fermentation begins without the addition of selected yeasts and proceeds at 28-30° C. The entire process of vinification and maceration takes place in concrete tanks for approximately 55 days with pumpovers and manual punchdowns.

In December the new wine is racked to casks of 20/25hl of Slavonian oak where the malolactic fermentation takes place. Aged for 2 years then the wine is assembled and bottled. The wine is aged for a minimum of 12 months before sale.

Poggerino, perched at 400–500 meters in the Tuscan hills, focuses primarily on Sangiovese, producing wines that showcase the grape’s purest expressions — from structured reds to still and sparkling rosato. Owner and winemaker Piero Lanza manages the estate with obsessive care, farming organically and in rhythm with the seasons to nurture biodiversity and produce healthy, concentrated grapes. The vineyards’ high elevation, direct sun, and galestro soils ensure optimal ripening and drainage, yielding small, intensely flavored clusters that translate into wines of exceptional concentration, balance, and elegance.
