In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with black cherry and plum aromatics, layered with white pepper and dried clove. Ripe cherry flavours sit atop firm, grainy tannins, held in check by fresh, mineral-edged acidity that feels almost Tuscan in its precision. A medium-bodied expression that tastes neither heavy nor dilute, but purposeful.

The Winery — Poggiotondo

Founded in 1968 by Carlo Antonini on a small parcel of west Chianti vines, the estate has grown to 50 hectares under the stewardship of his son Alberto and wife Alessandra. Alberto, a renowned consultant to award-winning producers worldwide, remains committed to authentic expressions of indigenous Tuscan varieties: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Trebbiano. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2014. The 2019 vintage—a growing season of spring rains followed by stable weather and careful summer timing—delivered full phenolic ripeness. In the cellar, 50% whole-bunch fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete and 20 months in untoasted oak casks preserve the wine's fruit, vitality and texture, with bottling unfined to let integrity show.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This hand-harvested blend from Chianti's 1928-planted Vigna del Cerreto Guidi rewards slow sipping alongside braised beef in tomato and herbs, aged Parmesan, charcuterie, roast dinners and game. Nearly a century of deep roots in calcareous soil has shaped vine and terroir into one organism, and that purity shows: no chemical veil between you and the vineyard. Drink now through 2030.
