Poggerino Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla 2007

Chianti Classico (Tuscany), Italy

Dry Red (Cork), 15.5% abv

A beguiling perfumed and herbal nose that's juicy, moreish and inviting. A lovely elegant balance of acidity and tannin with that herbal cherry note singing through to the long finish. A surprising alcohol level – impossible to detect, such is the balance here. Find on wine-searcher.com

Score:   92/100 − £23.95 at Lea & Sandeman.

Leuchtendes, sattes Rubin. Sehr intensive
und einladende Nase, satt nach reifen

The notes of blueberry and hints of cream are so enticing in this full and silk wine, which has bright acidity and a clean finish. Best after 2011.

There's lovely balance in this Chianti Classico, with pretty Sangiovese carachter that shows cherry aromas and flavors, with a full and polished texture. Drink now.

Five Star Decanter Award (18.5/20) - Chianti Classico 2007

Lovely young Sangiovese fragrance, a little unfocused but lots going on. Toothsome mid-weight palate with a fine tannic weave, firm underlying acidity, authentic grip and punnets of wild berries on the finish.
