Chianti Classico Nuovo
Chianti Classico Nuovo
Chianti Classico (N)Uovo 2022 is Poggerino’s distinctive expression of pure Sangiovese. Rather than ageing in oak, this organic Chianti Classico spends twelve months in a concrete egg, enhancing fruit purity, texture and terroir expression without adding oak influence.
Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Radda in Chianti, it offers aromas of ripe cherry, wild berries and red currants, layered with notes of graphite, tobacco, earth and Mediterranean herbs.
The palate is vibrant, refined and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins, lively acidity and pronounced minerality. Concrete ageing preserves the authenticity of the fruit while adding precision, energy and remarkable finesse.
The 2022 vintage captures both the richness of a warm growing season and the freshness that defines Poggerino’s wines. An elegant and food-friendly Chianti Classico, perfect with grilled meats, pasta with ragù, game birds and aged cheeses.

Reviews
The 2022 Chianti Classico Nuovo is 100% Sangiovese done entirely in cement. It offers lovely forward red-toned Sangiovese fruit along with complicating floral, savory and earthy undertones, all in a mid-weight style that is hugely appealing. The purity of the fruit is striking. Interestingly, proprietor Piero Lanza prefers to use slightly larger bunches in this bottling, as he feels they are better suited to vinification and élevage in cement.
