Poggiotondo Chianti Superiore

Why we love this tipple

“Step into the robust world of Italian reds with the Chianti Superiore by Poggiotondo. This red wine is a true expression of Tuscany’s vibrant winemaking tradition, delivering a powerful and layered experience that’s both bold and balanced. On the nose, Chianti Superiore offers a complex bouquet that evokes vivid imagery—think of burning tyres and the raw energy of Reading Festival on a challenging year. Yet, beneath this rugged exterior lies a rich tapestry of red and dark cherries, red plums, and the indulgent scent of dark chocolate-covered roasted hazelnuts, with a nostalgic hint of Vimto. The palate is bright and lively, bursting with the flavours of redcurrant, red cherry, cassis, figs, and dates. The tannins are expertly controlled, providing structure without overwhelming, while the acidity perfectly balances the fruit, creating a wine that’s both refreshing and deeply satisfying. The finish is somewhat tannic but immensely pleasing, with the fruit and acidity working together to keep your palate engaged. Chianti Superiore by Poggiotondo is a must-try for those who appreciate the daring and dynamic nature of a well-crafted Chianti—a wine that’s as intriguing as it is enjoyable.”
