Giovanni and Kathrin Davaz are the proprietors of Poggio al Sole. This picturesque estate lies in the commune of Tavernelle Val di Pesa, on a dozen hillside hectares in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. They are farmers first; their pristine vineyards contain Sangiovese, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot vines, ranging in age from 5 to 50 years. Natural farming and low yields create wines with incredible power, intense extraction of fruit, and formidable, yet well-integrated tannins. What is most fascinating about the wines of Poggio al Sole is that despite the concentration and power, they are still wonderfully complex and delicate. As is the case with all great wines, the wines of Poggio al Sole are made in the vineyard, not the cellar.

The Sangiovese Bianco is made from 100% Sangiovese that is pressed immediately after harvest and fermented in stainless steel tanks, with no malolactic conversion, and aged on the lees until the end of January, then bottled in February. Brilliant lemon color with water-white highlights. Fruity, dry, elegant, with a pleasant acidity and delicate bouquet. Enjoy with fresh oysters or assorted vegetables.
