Tenuta Poggiolo now known as Bonfio
is an estate located in the heart of Chianti Colli Senesi. The
different vineyards, in total 230 hectares, have their
own microclimates, and special care is given to the
processing of the grapes to make wines which express the subtle
differences. Tasting Notes: Made with 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a dark, ruby, red color; aromas of dry cherries and plum; and on the palate hints of cedar and tobacco followed by soft tannins. |
