Visiting Rome and Tuscany; 6/18/2019-7/2/2019 (Lazio and Tuscany, Italy): Poggio Bonelli's Villa Chigi Chianti is sourced from vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga and is named after Villa Chigi Saracini (a beautiful village to visit). The 2017 iteration is comprised of 100% Sangiovese and sees only stainless steel in its vinification. Medium ruby in color, it delivers aromas and flavors of red cherries, gingersnap cookies, pipe tobacco and damp earth. Medium-bodied, fresh, seamlessly alcoholic (13%) and with light sweet tannins, it retains good presence in the middle and closes with a touch of cranberry on the medium length finish. This is a delightful "easy drinker" that should provide pleasure for another 3-4 years. Drink now-2023.
