"The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale is a dense, potent offering from Castellare. Black cherry, licorice, new leather, spice and dried flowersemerge from the glass. These 40-plus-yearold vines yield an especially muscular, virile Riserva.The 2021 spent 20 months in French oak, one-third new and two-
thirds used, an approach that works sowell for this bottling." Antonio Galloni.

The Chianti Classico cru, Reserve obtained from a single vineyard and which received the highest scores for its elegance and typical characteristics. A wine that showcases the enormous potential of the Sangioveto grape.

Vibrant and lively ruby colour. The nose displays typical violet flowers and cherry fruit scents and a mineral note. Opens immediately to the palate with freshness and flavour dominating the middle part of the tasting, while the pleasant finish offers fragrant fruity notes.
