Poggiosecco Chianti, 2022, 750ml
Description
This 16-hectares estate is situated on well-drained soils (the literal translation of Poggiosecco is ‘dry slope’) of the Montalbano Hills, where it cultivates the classic Tuscan combo of vines (12ha) and olive trees (4ha). Both the olive and the grape are treated to a meticulous biodynamic regime, something the owners Marco and Guiseppe consider “the only possible way of farming considering the historical context in which we live.”
Spoiled with such natural care, the local grape celebrity called Sangiovese, as well as its indigenous white pals Vermentino and Malvasia di Candia, can only thrive. With a similarly respectful approach in the cellar (spontaneous fermentation only, no fining, very little sulfur additions), the estate produces some of the best value natural Chiantis and sparkling wines you will find in this famed area, convincing you that in Tuscany, art is everywhere, including the grapes’ DNA.
