Description
Chianti Classico Il Poggio di Castello Monsanto comes from the vineyard of the same name in the municipality of Barberino Val d'Elsa, in the province of Florence.
The 3 grapes are harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place in truncated cone steel vats at a controlled temperature for about 20-22 days. Subsequently, the wine is aged for 18-20 months in 500 l French oak barrels, partly new and partly second passage, and for another 2 years in the bottle, before being put on the market.
Il Poggio Chianti Classico has an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with hints of violet, black cherry and spices. The taste is warm and layered, with a long persistence.
Perfect to accompany grilled red meats, stewed game and aged cheeses.
