Product Notes

The Poggiotondo Terre di Cresci Chianti Classico is a quintessential Tuscan treat, hailing from Italy's renowned Chianti region. This bespoke wine boasts a rich, ruby-red hue, that perfectly teases the vibrant symphony of flavours encapsulated within. Handpicked Sangiovese grapes offer mouthwatering notes of crunchy red cherry, complimented by undercurrents of spice and earthy undertones. Ageing briefly in French oak barrels bestows the wine with a balanced tannic structure and an elegant touch of vanilla. Ideal with a well-grilled steak, this wine is a great asset to any feast, bringing a taste of Italian luxury to your dining table.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour with an elegant bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, sweet spices and floral perfumes. The palate presents a core of ripe black fruit and juicy tannins which give a smooth texture. This is a refined wine with a clean and persistent finish.
