Gae Saccoccio - NdC

9.0

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

Great balance. Subtle fruit, restrained oak, & just enough acidity and minerality to notice on the finish. ...I should have gotten two bottles... — 10 years ago

Nicely balanced liquorice and tobacco notes. Curvaceous and refined, like a mature opera singer wearing a silk gown. Excellent with pizza and tapas. — 10 years ago
