Montellori - Poggio Alla Luna - Chianti 2022
Poggio Alla Luna Chianti 2022 from the Montellori estate accurately embodies the Tuscan spirit, balancing tradition and contemporary elegance. The bright ruby robe with garnet reflections announces a luminous and expressive wine. The nose opens with clear aromas of Morello cherry, raspberry, and fresh plum, accompanied by notes of violet and dry herbs typical of the Tuscan landscape. A subtle touch of sweet spices and warm earth adds depth without weighing down the whole. The aromatic expression remains frank, balanced, and immediately readable. From the first sniff, the wine evokes the freshness of the Chianti hills more than just solar generosity. It is a faithful, precise, and perfectly controlled profile.
On the palate, the attack is straightforward and invigorating, supported by a structuring acidity that highlights the fruit. The body is supple yet well-built, with fine, slightly chalky tannins that add relief without harshness. Flavors of red cherry, small tart fruits, and stone fruit continue over a discreet spicy framework, evoking sweet pepper and a hint of licorice. The aging, measured and respectful, accompanies the wine without marking the profile with dominant oak. The balance between freshness, fruit, and structure offers a harmonious, fluid, and very digestible mouthfeel. The finish, persistent and clean, leaves an impression of purity and sincerity. Altogether, it composes an elegant Chianti, true to its terroir and accessible without being simplistic.
Poggio Alla Luna Chianti 2022 is a quintessential table wine, designed for conviviality and everyday gastronomy. It naturally pairs with pasta in tomato sauce, artisanal pizza, Italian cold cuts, or simply seasoned grilled meat. Its freshness and structure also allow it to accompany vegetarian dishes based on eggplants, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms. Served around 16 to 17 °C, it fully expresses its fruit and balance. Already very pleasant in its youth, it can evolve harmoniously over a few years, gaining suppleness and spicy nuances. It is an authentic, precise, and generous Chianti that accurately reflects the expertise of the Montellori estate.
