Tenute Poggio Bonelli Chianti Classico Riserva 2020

Tenute Poggio Bonelli Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 is a refined expression of Sangiovese from the heart of Chianti, offering the depth and structure that make Riserva wines so appealing. Sourced from vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga near Siena, it combines ripe fruit character with the elegance and complexity gained through careful oak aging.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with garnet reflections, hinting at its developing complexity. The nose opens with red cherry, dark berry fruit, and floral notes, followed by subtle layers of spice, cedar, and balsamic accents from the barrel ageing. On the palate, it is structured and vivid, with the classic Sangiovese profile of bright acidity, fine tannins, and savoury depth. The fruit remains at the core, while tertiary notes from the wood add warmth and nuance. This is a wine with good ageing potential, and it should continue to evolve gracefully over the next several years.

Production
The wine comes from vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga, one of the most characterful areas of Chianti Classico, where the warm Tuscan climate and well-drained soils help Sangiovese reach full aromatic and phenolic ripeness. The Riserva is made primarily from Sangiovese, with a small proportion of complementary local grapes, and the grapes are harvested with attention to preserving balance and freshness. Aging in small oak barrels adds depth, texture, and the tertiary nuances that shape the finished wine.

Food & Serving
This Chianti Classico Riserva is an excellent match for grilled red meats, roast lamb, braised beef, and rich Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù. It also pairs beautifully with aged pecorino and other hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
