Lifted scents of rose, dark cherry and wild herbs introduce Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020, a poised and deeply layered wine where juicy red and black fruit glide over a core of salty stone and gentle spice. Silky yet firm tannins and bright, mouthwatering acidity give it a taut, elegant frame, while a long, savory finish hints at smoke and underbrush, marking this as a particularly thrilling and refined Il Poggio in a ripe vintage.

Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is Castello di Monsanto’s iconic single-vineyard Sangiovese-based wine from the amphitheater-like Il Poggio cru in Barberino Tavarnelle, celebrated as one of the first named-vineyard Chianti Classicos. Rooted in galestro and pietraforte soils at around 280–320 meters, it combines vibrant acidity, fine yet powerful tannins and notable mineral depth with aromas that typically span red and black cherries, floral notes and earth, giving it an extraordinary capacity to age for decades.
