Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG, Italy 2020 1.5L

Castello di Monsanto’s Il Poggio 2020 is a benchmark single-vineyard Chianti Classico and one of the estate’s most collectible wines. Deeply aromatic and beautifully layered, it combines wild cherry, violet, blood orange, savory herbs, iron-rich earth, and spice with vibrant acidity and refined, persistent tannins. A powerful yet elegant expression of Sangiovese with remarkable pedigree and decades of aging potential.

"The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Il Poggio is a total stunner. What a wine. Elegant and translucent, the 2020 impresses with a sublime, finessed personality that is impossible to miss. Fine tannins and lifted, sensual aromatics immediately announce a wine of utter class. On the palate, the 2020 is wonderfully deep and layered, with mind-blowing balance and exceptional pedigree. The 2020 is one of the very finest Il Poggios ever made. It has been nothing short of breathtaking on the two occasions I have tasted it so far. Don't miss it!" Vinous 98
