Chianti Classico Nuovo 2020

- 92 points -

Made since 2013, Nuovo is a selection of Poggerino’s best tank of Chianti Classico. It is racked into a single 6.5hl concrete egg for malolactic fermentation and further refinement. The nose is lifted, with cherry and raspberry sharing the stage with intense violet. Very neat and promising, the long, chalky tannins stretch out leisurely while citrussy acidity adds crunch. It builds in warmth but the concentration of fruit absorbs the alcohol. Accents of orange peel progress to juniper on the finish.
