Tasting notes
The 2013 Chianti Classico is a delicious wine with a very clean entry to the palate. The wine makes its mark thanks to shapely aromas of dark fruit, dried cherry and plum. The quality of the fruit is evident in the classic 2013 vintage. Clean acidity and bright berry flavors move towards the palate where they are both refreshing and invigorating. This is a great wine to pair with grilled meat or flatbread with smoked bacon or sausage.

Poggio Scalette's 2013 Chianti Classico is a plump, juicy wine to drink now and over the next few years, while the fruit retains its freshness. Sweet red berries, spices and crushed flowers add nuance on the perfumed, silky finish. There is nothing especially fancy here, rather it is the wine's exuberance that carries the day.
