In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pour this 2024 and you'll find a wine that tastes alive. The deep ruby colour opens to ripe dark fruits and earthy undertones shaped by limestone-rich soils, with wild hedgerow spice threading through. On the palate, supple, velvety tannins frame black cherry and sweet spice, all held in a soft, lingering frame that keeps you reaching back. This is a wine that doesn't shout—it invites conversation.

The Winery — Poggiotondo

What began as Carlo Antonini's three-hectare vision in 1968 has grown into a 50-hectare estate devoted to authentic expression. His son Alberto, now running the property with his wife Alessandra, is an internationally renowned consulting winemaker who chooses here to craft pure, unadorned renderings of Tuscan indigenous varieties. Built on south-west-facing slopes in the heart of Chianti, these vines average 20 years old—mature enough to know their craft, still energetic in the glass. The 2024 vintage's cool nights and measured ripening preserved the acidity and aromatic brightness that defines the variety. Fermented in temperature-controlled concrete tanks with native yeasts, then split between concrete and large untoasted oak, this wine was designed to taste like itself. Certified organic since 2014, it carries genuine conviction.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

At 13% ABV, this is a natural fit for longer meals. Braise a piece of beef, roast a chicken with herbs, set out charcuterie and aged Parmesan, and this wine becomes essential. The supple tannins and food-friendly acidity welcome stews, game, venison, and cured meats with equal grace. Whether you're settling in for a weeknight supper or gathering for Sunday lunch, this Sangiovese from Tuscany asks what the land wants to say rather than imposing anything upon it. Vegan and vegetarian friendly.
