92 pts. Decanter: "Once again, Poggerino’s Piero Lanza puts out one of the most successful annata of the vintage thus far. His 11 hectares in Radda sit mainly on Galestro soil with an underpinning of clay rather than sand, giving seriously structured wines. Dense fruit and spice greet the nose, with glossy dark red cherry, mint and cinnamon following through on the palate. Impressive substance is backed up by chewy, layered tannins, gracious rather than austere, dissolving slowly into the crunchy currants that draw out the finish. Vibrant and impressive." - Michaela Morris, February 2024

Fattoria Poggerino, now in its third generation, is a small, family-run organic winery in Chianti Classico's historic commune of Radda. Every step from the vineyard management to the wine-making to the marketing is carried out by the owners, Piero Lanza, who co-owns the 28-acre property with his sister Benedetta.
Planted with 20 different clones of Sangiovese, and a little Merlot for use in some other wines, the vineyard is organically farmed.
Poggerino produces approximately 65.000 bottles of wine per year from grapes grown exclusively on the estate, with their Chianti Classico and Chianti Classico Riserva made from 100% Sangiovese.
