In the far southwest of Chianti Classico, Pomona’s vineyards straddle the sub-areas of Castellina and Vagliagli. Vigna Sant’Ilario falls into the former while Vigna Termine is in the latter. Both east-facing parcels, the two are blended together for this annata bottling. Firm and structured rather than rich, the 2020 is a decidedly savoury wine. It leads with scents of smoke, sage and tobacco, picking up restrained, crisp black currants on the palate. With concentrated acidity and a minerally finish, this will benefit from a few more months in the bottle.
