About this winery

Jurij Fiore is best known for the wines he has made alongside his father, Vittore, for years at the family’s Poggio Scalette property in the Greve village of Chianti Classico.

September 2023 (Vintage 2021)

Named after the Italian word for "point of view," the Jurij Fiore & Figlia 2021 Chianti Classico Lamole Puntodivista (with a mere 582 bottles made) is almost all Sangiovese with a tiny addition of complementary grapes. These are high-elevation vines at 600 meters above sea level on well-draining soils. These conditions help to underline the floral aspects of the wine and its elegance, especially in term of mineral definition and linearity. This bottle does name the village of Lamole on the front label.

Antonio Galloni, August 2023 (Vintage 2020)

The 2020 Chianti Classico PuntodiVista is laced with dark wild cherry, game, tobacco, incense, iron, dried herbs, leather and tobacco. It is another wine in this range with plenty of floral/savory complexity, but less in the way of overt fruit. I very much like the energy here.

Antonio Galloni, August 2023 (Vintage 2021)

The 2021 Chianti Classico PuntodiVista is a wild, savory wine. Dried herbs, leather, licorice, incense and scorched earth bring out that aspect of its personality. While the fruit is in the background, this rugged Chianti Classico is not especially forthcoming, but it has only recently been bottled.
