Winemaker Notes
Intense and complex aromas of dark berry fruits, green leafy herbs and a dark chariness. The complexity continues onto the palate with dark fruits, savory herbs, spices and hints of tar. Fine, almost juicy tannins fill the mouth and lead to a long, minerally driven finish.
Blend: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, 5% Colorino

Wine Spectator
This is opulent, with warm, spicy notes of black cherry, plum, tobacco and spice. Turns dense and grainy on the earth-accented finish, showing fine harmony and length. Drink now through 2022.
In the north-western corner of the Chianti region, resting on the hills between the Montalbano and Arno valley, 123 acres of vines are joined by some 2,000 olive trees on the Poggiotondo estate. Founder and winemaker Alberto Antonini is a scholar of modern winemaking earning degrees from the University of Florence, Bordeaux University, and University of California Davis in addition to his winemaking stints around the globe. The Poggiotondo vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean influence and soils are riddled with remnants of sea life that afford minerality and complexity to these modern DOCG and IGT renditions.
