Poggio Della Torre Chianti
Tuscan Sangiovese from the hills near Vinci, poured here for years.
The story behind Poggio Della Torre
Poggio Della Torre comes out of the Chianti hills near Vinci, the Tuscan town where Leonardo was born. The wine is made with the Salvadori family estate, founded by Cesare Salvadori in 1930 and now run by the third generation, with Francesco Salvadori heading winemaking. The house leans on the old playbook: manual selection in the vineyard, careful maceration for color and grip, and wooden barrels for the Riserva.
The blend is Sangiovese with a small slice of Canaiolo Nero, the pairing Tuscans have used for centuries. Nothing here is modernized into softness for its own sake. You get the sour cherry, the dusty tannin, the savory finish that says Chianti before you read the label.
