Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG - Poggio alla Sala

The elegant Chianti Colli Senesi Poggio alla Sala shines bright ruby red in the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World presents wonderfully expressive aromas of plum, morello cherry, black cherry and plum, rounded off with black tea, cocoa bean and oriental spices from the barrel ageing process.

This dry red wine from Poggio alla Sala is perfect for purists who like their wine dry. The Chianti Colli Senesi comes very close to this, as it was produced with just 2 grams of residual sugar. This dense red wine is balanced and multi-layered on the palate. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Chianti Colli Senesi is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this young wine from the Tuscan wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. There are again hints of plum and black cherry.
