Overview of the Wine
PODERE POGGIO SCALETTE became an autonomous wine-producing estate in 1991 when Vittorio Fiore and his wife Adriana Assjè di Marcorà acquired several plots of land and a rural building on the hill of Ruffoli in the township of Greve in Chianti, in the very heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. The property came from the division of an heredity and the sale of proprety consisting of old stone farmhouses, vineyard land, olive groves, pasture land, and woods which had been abandoned years previously after the death of the former owner.
The estate is directly run by son Jurij (a graduate of the School of Viticulture and Oenology of Beaune in Burgundy) with the overall supervision of Vittorio. The marketing of the wines, instead, has been assigned to son Alessandro for export markets.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
It offers gorgeous aromas and flavors of black cherry and currant with freshly ground coffee, toast and hints of spring florals. Soft, velvet texture. Black cherry and spice, leather and oak. A medium body. Great on the nose and forward, expansive flavors but without a very long finish.
Product size: 750ml
