Poggio ai Mori Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 - San Donatino

Poggio ai Mori Chianti Classico DOCG - San Donatino 

The Poggio ai Mori Chianti Classico di San Donatino is a distinctive red wine that embodies the essence of the region's winemaking tradition. Made with 100% Sangiovese grapes, this wine stands out for its authenticity and complexity. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts, in 15 hl truncated cone vats, in which 50% of the mass is vinified as a whole bunch. This technique helps to give the wine a rich and layered aromatic profile, highlighting the varietal characteristics of Sangiovese. Aging in 600 liter oak barrels for a year allows the wine to develop greater complexity, integrating the tannins and enriching the bouquet with notes of spices, red fruit and an elegant minerality. The result is a Chianti Classico that is balanced, with a good structure and a long finish. This wine is ideal to pair with typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine, such as pasta with meat sauce, red meats and mature cheeses. Its unique personality also makes it perfect to be enjoyed alone, to fully appreciate its aromatic nuances.

Service

We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip glasses. Daily wine but left a few years in the cellar will give you great emotions.

Pairing

Perfect with hors d'oeuvres starters, with pasta dishes, red meats, excellent with radicchio crepes.

The cellar: San Donatino

Located in Castellina in Chianti, the San Donatino estate was purchased in 1971 by the famous French singer and poet Léo Ferré together with his wife Maria Christine Diaz, who settled there with his whole family. From the very beginning, the Ferré family took care of restoring the vineyards and the 5000 olive trees. Even today the estate is family-run, where everything is followed in the first person with love and experience. The cellar, edited first by Giulio Gambelli and today by Federico Staderini, has a traditional approach: the sign of the territory and the difference of the vintages have absolute prevalence over any form of standardization of wines. fermentations take place spontaneously without using selected yeasts, macerations they are prolonged and the wines remain "sur lie" for several months. The wines base are refined only in steel while the crus age in wood.
