Chianti Classico Nuovo
2019
The 2020 Chianti Classico Nuovo is a selection of Sangiovese from older vines on the property. Perfumed and light on its feet, the 2020 is super translucent and expressive. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and sweet pipe tobacco all grace this idiosyncratic wine. The 2020 was vinified and aged entirely in cement. As such it is a quirky Chianti Classico with few direct peers.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Nuovo is 100% old-vine Sangiovese aged in concrete. Bright and effusive, with striking aromatic presence, the Nuovo is an absolute delight. Nervy, persistent tannins and bright acids are a reminder we are in Radda. This mid-weight Chianti Classico has so much to offer. Bright red fruit, white pepper, chalk and dried flowers linger.

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.

Fresh clay, spice and ripe, but not roasted, red cherry. Firm, chalky, mouth-coating tannins but with enough depth of flavour to carry them through. Give it a year or two before broaching. Nice transparency.
