Fattoria Poggerino is one of Chianti Classico's most prestigious estates. Located in Radda in Chianti, the estate consists of 43 total hectares, of which 29 are certified organic vineyards planted mostly to Sangiovese. Poggerino’s vineyards are located at 400 to 500 meters, face south-southwest and are abundant with the rocky galestro soils for which Chianti is famous. The land used to belong to Prince Ginori Conti, a descendant of one of Florence’s oldest families. Floriana Ginori Conti inherited the winery from her father in the 1970s, and in 1980, with her husband Fabrizio Lanza, began making Chianti Classico with the Poggerino label. In 1999, she handed over the property to her two children, Piero and Benedetta Lanza, who had been managing it since 1988. All wines are made exclusively with estate fruit.
Ruby red color with notes of blackberries, cherry, leather, and red currant touched by vanilla and licorice spice. Sweet and persistent tannins.
