Deep garnet with ruby hues, this rich Chianti Superiore offers plush aromas of red and black cherries with floral hints of iris. Firm, well-integrated tannins on the palate are balanced by a zesty acidity. Perfect for tomato sauced pastas, beef lasagne, bean stews or chili and salami cuts.
Situated in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Pisa, Poggiotondo's wines are a pure expression of the Chianti region. Alberto and Alessandra Antonini, following the principles of organic agricultures, grow their vineyards in a natural and balanced environment. The goal is making wines with a strong sense of place, wines that become a symbol of a respected and given territory.
We follow a traditional vineyard management. Without the use of any synthectic chemicals, we have a better fruit quality, character and very likely longevity of centuries of the vineyards themselves.
Our focus is to have an alive soil with a natural balanced fertilty, we can achieve that making sure that we have an active microbiology which is responsable to guarantee a good fertility.
We feed the microbs keeping in the soil a good level of biomass, doing cover crop between the rows and returning to the soil, after composting for a few months, the stems and the pomace from the winery.
