93 pts. Decanter: "A perennial over-achiever, even in this challenging vintage, the annata exhibits exceptional complexity for this level without sacrificing brightness or drinkability. Pristine and vivacious, it launches with dark cherry, tea leaf, lavender and violet scents. The palate follows with gumption; juicy, fleshy fruit is underscored by Radda’s crisp acidity and rocky minerals. Sweet tannins are decidedly chalky in texture. It closes with a liquorice twist." - 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.
