Poggerino Chianti Classico “Nuovo” DOCG

Organic Sangiovese aged in concrete eggs. Purity from concrete: A modern interpretation of Radda.

With “Nuovo” (meaning “new”), Poggerino challenges the traditional boundaries of Chianti Classico without compromising its unique terroir in Radda. Crafted from 100% organic Sangiovese, this wine is aged in custom-made, egg-shaped concrete tanks instead of traditional oak barrels. The natural shape of the “egg” creates a continuous, gentle circulation of the lees, giving the wine fantastic texture and structure—completely free from wood influence.

Focus on Fruit, Energy, and Minerality

Because the wine never touches oak, it picks up no notes of vanilla or toast. Instead, you get the raw, unadulterated expression of Poggerino’s stony galestro soil. This is Chianti Classico in its purest and most energetic form, where the vibrant acidity and crisp minerality of Radda’s cool high altitudes truly sing.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Beautiful, clear ruby red with brilliant violet highlights.

• Aroma: Incredibly clean, fresh, and focused nose. Bursting with crisp red cherries, raspberries, wild flowers (especially violets), a distinct chalky minerality, and a subtle touch of white pepper.

• Palate: Lively, juicy, and crisp on the palate with fantastic energy. It possesses a lovely richness from the concrete fermentation, perfectly balanced by precise acidity and fine, firm tannins. The finish is remarkably clean, mouthwatering, and mineral-driven.
