Rich, deep and powerful, the 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale possesses superb depth and resonance. Lavender, smoke, plums and spices are all laced together in a Chianti Classico built on an absolutely alluring combination of fruit and structure. This is a great showing from Castellare - but I must warn readers the 2011 Poggiale needs time in the cellar, so patience is critical.
