Situated in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Pisa, Poggiotondo's wines are a pure expression of the Chianti region. Owing to the proximity of the Mediterranean sea, the western part of the Chianti region has a milder climate resulting in a good balance of the wines. Soil of marine origin, calcareous with a high presence of white sea shells that impart elegance and complexity to the wines. With utter respect for this region, Alberto Antonini the owner and wine maker at Poggiotondo makes his wines in a modern style, whilst adhering to the true regional characteristics of the Chianti region in which the grapes are grown. Balance and harmony is the philosophy of all the Poggiotondo wines.
Deep dark fruits, slightly earthy complex nose. The palate has velvety soft tannins, broad in dimension with a long complex finish.
