Poggio Rosso

2010 Chianti Sangiovese 100%

San Felice Poggio Rosso is a splendid expression of Sangiovese from the renowned Chianti region, embodying the essence of this classic Italian varietal. The wine displays a captivating ruby-red color, hinting at its vibrant character. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied structure, beautifully balanced with a bright acidity that enlivens the senses. The fruit intensity comes forward with prominent notes of ripe red cherries and subtle hints of blackberries, creating a delightful fruit-driven profile. Its well-integrated tannins contribute a firm yet refined texture, enhancing the wine's complexity without overpowering its elegant character. This vintage, from 2010, showcases the wine's ageability, allowing it to develop further nuance while remaining remarkably food-friendly, perfect for pairing with rich tomato-based dishes or savory roasted meats.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
