A delicate, hearty blend of Sangiovese, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wine has a nice balance of cherry and spice with a pleasant cedar bouquet. — 13 years ago
Podere San Donatino (Castellina in Chianti) was bought in 1971 by Léo Ferré the great French poet and singer, now there's his wife Maria Cristina Diaz with their children to manage the winery. Spontaneous fermentations, wild yeasts, prolonged maceration - about three weeks - though the wines stay “sur lie” for several months. This Chianti Classico Poggio ai Mori is aged only in stainless steel while the Riserva does age in older wood. It's a 100% of a nitty-gritty sangiovese, edibles almost, nourishing even to the nose; mellow and sincere just a perfect pairing with some peasant but refined bread and salami (pane e salame), quietly singing "Les Anarchistes" facing the Tuscan sunset among you, the always empty glass and the Chaos out of the universe. — 9 years ago

We closed on our 2nd and hopefully "long-term" raise our our children house today - so we celebrate. This wine is a strong effort in spades! Brilliant purple hue. A punch to the noise out of the gates. A taste of mixed berries that won't quit. Not overly oaky which I appreciate. Probably has the stuffing to go a few more years at least. — 9 years ago
