'Tis time to stock the pantry...
Piero Lanza is one of Chianti's greatest young ambassadors. A qualified oenologist, a very competent agronomist and a brilliant winemaker. The estate consists of 106 acres of vineyards, olive groves and woodlands. Always well-reviewed.
From The Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019, issue:
"Bruce Sanderson loves the style of wine produced by Fattoria Poggerino, in Tuscany's Chianti Classico, showcasing vibrant acidity and elegance. These wines are impeccably balanced and built to last."
Each Poggerino 6ix Mix contains:
2x Chianti Classico 2020
92+ Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (June 2022)
Planted with 20 different clones of Sangiovese, and a little Merlot for use in some other wines, the vineyard is organically farmed.
2x Chianti Classico (N)uovo 2019
92 pts. Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Sept. 2021)
What is (N)Uovo? It's a play on New and Egg. Specifically an innovative process of ageing in a concrete egg. In this case a 650 litre concrete egg the height of a person. The using of this atypical egg-shaped tank, inspired by the Roman dolias, is a relatively new approach. The egg form and material themselves are of great advantage. Just like wood, cement is permeable to air. The vertical ovoid tank takes advantage of the micro-oxygenation that is made possible by the clay-cement material. And, In this giant egg, the lees are continuously forced upward by an internal current resembling a vortex.
2x Chianti Classico Riserva 2018
94 pts. Michael Godel, Wine Align
"...stylistically Piedmontazine in origin, long maceration and from a really wet and cool vintage. Always elegant, always a matter of vineyard rows that ripen just bit earlier, better and with phenolic completion as compared to the rest of Piero Lanza’s fruit. Chewy, especially for the vintage but also layered and palate caressing. This has the no lo so of Chianti Classico, the umami found in just certain wines of understanding and humility. Lanza gets it and that’s important. It means he cares. Bravo Piero. Tasted March 2022." - Michael Godel, Wine Align
