Tasting Notes: The Poggiopiano Chianti Classico La Tradizione 2010 offers a concentrated and complex profile, beginning with a very perfumed nose of violet, ripe sour cherry, and raspberry, interwoven with notes of smoky vanilla oak, leather, and allspice. On the full-bodied palate, ripe red and black fruits mingle with earthy undertones, bitter chocolate, and hints of espresso and menthol. It presents a robust structure with high acidity and fine-grained, well-integrated tannins that lead to a long, savory finish, showcasing both elegance and the potential for extended aging.
Estate History: Fattoria Poggiapiano is a winery located in the hills between Florence and Siena, specifically in the San Casciano in Val di Pesa sub-region of the Chianti Classico area. The estate embraces organic practices in its vineyards. The philosophy revolves around creating authentic expressions of Sangiovese, the region's principal grape variety. The "La Tradizione" label signifies a commitment to traditional methods while leveraging modern winemaking techniques, such as aging in French barriques, to produce wines that are both elegant and representative of the unique Tuscan terroir.
