Description

Allow me to introduce you to a truly exceptional experience, a journey through the sun-kissed hills of Tuscany, embodied in a bottle of Valliano Poggio Teo Chianti Classico 2020. This isn't just wine; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in the rich history, passion, and artistry that define the Chianti Classico region.

Fattoria Valliano, the esteemed winery behind this masterpiece, sits nestled in the heart of Tuscany, where tradition meets innovation. With meticulous care, Valliano cultivates its Sangiovese grapes on carefully selected parcels, coaxing out the unique characteristics of the terroir. The Poggio Teo is a testament to their dedication, crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The estate covers around 130 hectares, of which 45 are vineyards, 5 olive groves and 70 woods. In 1997, Piccini family decided to take over the management of Valliano, which has belonged to the Countess Chigi Saracini since 1938.

The 2020 vintage is a harmonious symphony of aromas and flavors. On the nose, you'll be greeted with a captivating bouquet of ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries, interlaced with subtle notes of dried herbs, tobacco, and a hint of earthy spice. The palate is equally enchanting, with a medium-bodied structure, velvety tannins, and a vibrant acidity that brings the wine to life. Expect a lingering finish, leaving you with a warm, satisfying aftertaste.

The Poggio Teo Chianti Classico is incredibly versatile and food-friendly. Its complex flavors and elegant structure make it an ideal companion for a wide range of dishes. Imagine savoring it alongside a classic Tuscan feast of grilled steak Florentine, or pairing it with a rich, meaty lasagna. It's also exquisite with roasted game, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. This wine isn't just meant to be drunk; it's meant to be shared, savored, and celebrated with friends and family.

When you choose Valliano Poggio Teo, you're not just selecting a bottle of wine; you're embracing a legacy of excellence. The wine scored an impressive 91 points from various wine critics, solidifying its position as a top-tier Chianti Classico. Open a bottle, pour a glass, and let the magic of Tuscany transport you to a place where wine is more than a drink – it's a way of life.
