ClosePoggiosecco was founded in 1967 and has been part of the Consorzio del Chianti ever since; in 2001, the winery set about restructuring toward organic and biodynamic farming for both their wine and olive production. Marco & Guiseppe follow biodynamic principles very closely both in the vineyard and in the cellar, from respecting the calendar and moon phases through the minimal treatments and plant infusions used. The literal translation of Poggiosecco is ‘dry slope’, a fitting name for the estate’s well-drained soils. Theirs is a fine Chianti - mostly Sangiovese, with Malvasia Nera - bright ruby red in color, fruity, fresh, while embracing a savory side and a hint of cloves. Tuscan cuisine is, naturally, the perfect accompaniment, but it will be perfect with all kinds of cold cuts, mild cheeses or grilled vegetables.
Marco and Guisseppe respect the natural cycles and intervene with the winemaking process as little as possible. However, farming biodynamically is a ton of work and this is the result of the best grapes on a great site in the heart of Tuscany.
