Poggio Basso Chianti
Tuscan Chianti and grappa, stocked small in Commack.
The story behind Poggio Basso
Chianti is the red most of Tuscany drinks with dinner, built on Sangiovese and marked by bright cherry, dried herb and a firm, food loving acidity. It is not a heavy wine. It is a table wine in the best sense, and the better bottles carry a little earth and grip that keep you coming back.
We keep Poggio Basso Chianti in the small stack at our Commack shop, one or two bottles at a time. The same label also sends us a Nebbiolo and Mosca grappa in a 375mL, a pomace spirit from the same northern Italian tradition. Small allocations, real bottles, no filler.

Acidity cuts tomato and olive oil, and the price keeps it casual.
