Poggerino Chianti Classico
Summary Poggerino Chianti Classico is the core red from Fattoria Poggerino, a historic organic estate in Radda in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy. Owned by the Ginori Conti family since the 1970s (with Floriana Ginori Conti leading since 1980), it's made exclusively from 100% estate-grown Sangiovese on south-southwest facing rocky galestro soils at 500m elevation (vineyard density 5,000/ha). Hand-harvested and vinified organically with minimal intervention, it's fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly to emphasize freshness, purity, and Radda's signature elegance. Vibrant and classic, this Chianti Classico is food-friendly and age-worthy (drink now or cellar 5-10 years), pairing brilliantly with pasta al ragù, grilled meats, wild boar, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses.
