Poggerino Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla (750ml)

Poggerino is a Tuscan estate located in Radda in Chianti that has approximately 11 hectares planted mainly with Sangiovese.  The farming practices are organic and like so many Tuscan wine estates, they also cultivate other fruits and vegetables that they use at the restaurant of their agriturismo.  The stages of production, from viticulture, to vinification and marketing are managed by the owners themselves.    

The vineyards are located at an altitude of 400/500 m. above sea level with a south / south west exposure. The soil is very rich in stony skeleton coming from the decay of the galestro rock; it is precisely this abundance of stone that gives the soil optimal drainage.  They practice organic farming, meaning they do not use pesticides and herbicides which would damage the vitality of the soil and interrupt its natural processes.  The only protective treatments against parasites they use are sulfur and a minimal amount of copper.
