This wine is deep red in colour.The nose is elegant with a blend of ripe dark fruits and a hint of earthiness. The palate has supple, velvety tannins with flavours of spicy, sweet dark cherry and wild hedgerow and a soft mouthfeel leading to a long complex finish.
This wine comes from a selection of fruit from the low yielding Poggiotondo estate vineyards in the Tuscan village of Cerreto Guidi near the town of Empoli in the Chianti area.The vineyard is located on a south-west facing slope at 100 meters above sea level.The soils here are of marine origin, calcareous with a strong presence of white sea shells that impart elegance and complexity to the wines. The vines are 20 years old on average and trained with vertical shoot positioning and Guyot pruned. The vineyards have been certified organic since the 2014 vintage.
Alberto Antonini’s Poggiotondo estate is situated in the hills to the north-west of Empoli in western Tuscany. These hills are south and south-west facing, planted primarily with Sangiovese. The estate has been certified organic since the 2014 vintage.
