Poggiotondo Chianti Superiore Organic DOCG 2015 (Italy)

Situated in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Pisa, Poggiotondo’s wines are a pure expression of the Chianti region.
Alberto and Alessandra Antonini, following the principles of organic agricultures, grow their vineyards in a natural and balanced environment. Poggiotondo is immersed in an ancient farming landscape with biodiversity context: vineyards, olive trees, figs tree, old fruit plants, very ancient oak trees, cypress, bushes of raspberries and blackberries and exceptional natural beauty.

The soil has a marine origin as can be seen from the presence of limestone fossils ( sea shells) and its composition varies from a more sandy to a more silty clayed limestone. Its origin and the presence of limestone is important for the wine quality because it talks to its energy, vitality and tension that are defining character of their wines.
