Tasting Notes: The Colonia vineyard sits at the top of Poggio a Rancia, surrounded by forests. The vineyard was replanted in 1966 by Domenico Poggiali and his son Giuseppe, who worked it until the late 1970s but its very rocky soils led to the project’s abandonment in the mid-1980s. Grandson Giovanni Poggiali took it up again in 1991, and together with his father and grandfather, finally completed the planting of the vine shoots in 1993. The first crop was brought in 1997, but only 2006 was the first vintage bottled, without any denomination, which made the wine even more unique. The following vintage entails however the Chianti Classico denomination. Production is a limited 3,000 bottle, each numbered, styled for true connoisseurs of Sangiovese, and bearing a special dedication by Giovanni to his grandfather Domenico. Intense ruby red color. Spicy aromas with earthy, mineral, tobacco and pleasant wild berry notes. On the palate, it has intense tannins needed for ageing the high concentration of the regional components typical to Fèlsina and Poggio a Rancia.
