Poggio Scalette Chianti Classico 2023

Lovely bright fragrance of red fruits, garrigue, smoke, cigar box and vanilla. Medium bodied, nervy and with a sleek palate. Salivating freshness, tension of fruit, savouriness, piqued acids and taut tannins. Great, refreshing drinking and so food versatile. Norris at Waters Wine Co

Fresh, delicious. Masses of strawberry and red plum, bold but gregarious acidity, sweet fennel and tarragon herbs and a little nip of juniper berry. Tannins are sprightly, tactile, full of energy and super-juicy. Chianti Classico unplugged. Wine made for drinking, not admiring – my kind of wine. Bravo! 16.5/20, Jancis Robinson

The 2023 Chianti Classico is terrific. Aromatic and juicy, with lovely mid-palate depth, the 2023 has a lot to offer. Dark macerated cherry, spice, new leather, orange peel and cedar build effortlessly. This medium-bodied, pliant Chianti Classico is a winner. 91 Points, Antonio Galloni

Bright ruby red with purple hues. Classic varietal notes on the nose, cherry and marzipan, followed by violets and dried rosemary. Juicy and animated on the palate, a lively acidity, subtle tannins, medium length. 92 Points, Falstaff
