Podere Poggio Scalette Chianti Classico: The Taste of Tuscan Excellence

The Podere Poggio Scalette Chianti Classico Red is a masterpiece from the heart of Tuscany, crafted by the iconic winemaker Vittorio Fiore. Sourced from the high-altitude Ruffoli vineyards in Greve in Chianti, this Sangiovese-driven wine is a pure expression of the DOCG, known for its structure, elegance, and incredible freshness. It is a benchmark for premium Chianti Classico.

Tasting Profile & Highlights

Experience the depth and character of a true Black Rooster wine with a complex flavor profile.

• Color: Deep, vibrant ruby red.
• Nose: An elegant and complex bouquet of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and bright floral notes of violet. Secondary aromas of tobacco leaf, subtle leather, and a hint of spice add layers of sophistication.
• Palate: Firmly structured yet balanced, featuring fine-grained tannins and the signature vibrant acidity of high-altitude Sangiovese. The mid-palate is juicy, leading to a long, savory finish with mineral undertones.

Food Pairing & Service

This Chianti Classico is built for the table, designed to cut through rich flavors and complement savory dishes.

• Serving Temperature: 60-64°F (16-18°C). Decant for 30-60 minutes before serving to fully open the aromas.
• Suggested Pairings: The ultimate partner for Italian-American classics like Spaghetti and Meatballs, a perfectly grilled Ribeye Steak with Rosemary, or a rich Lasagna al Ragù.
