The wine

Il Carbonaione Poggio Scalette: The pure soul of Sangiovese

Imagine for a moment the Tuscan light caressing the hills, and at the heart of this landscape, a wine that tells you the story of its land. The Carbonaione from Poggio Scalette is that gem, a vibrant expression of Sangiovese, where every sip is an invitation to travel.

Ruffoli, the cradle of a reinvented tradition

The Poggio Scalette estate, nestled in Ruffoli, in the heart of Greve in Chianti, is a place where the passion for wine is passed down with watchmaker's precision. Here, the terroir of the Alta Valle della Greve IGT offers ideal conditions for Sangiovese. This wine is the work of a single grape variety, the Sangiovese di Lamole, cultivated with meticulous care. Vinification takes place in steel tanks, with maceration lasting 10 to 12 days, allowing a gentle extraction that respects the aromas and the color.

In your glass, you will discover a compact ruby color, a promise of beautiful concentration. On the nose, this wine reveals itself as straightforward and without artifice. I perceive intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits, with a predominance of cherry and blackberry, enhanced by a delicate touch of sweet spices. Light notes of earth and undergrowth add complexity to this bouquet, offering a measured but captivating depth. On the palate, the Carbonaione reveals a balanced structure. The body is medium, the tannins are present but already polished, and a refreshing acidity supports the whole. The finish is pleasant, recalling the fruity and spicy sensations perceived on the nose, with an ending that also evokes leather.

The ideal companion for your generous tables

This wine is a true ally for your convivial meals. I particularly recommend it with characterful dishes. Imagine it alongside a beautiful bistecca alla fiorentina, grilled red meats, a flavorful lamb or aged cheeses. Its structure and balance allow it to pair as well with elaborate dishes as with simpler moments. Serve it slightly chilled compared to room temperature to fully appreciate all its nuances. It's the kind of wine you want to share, a bottle that invites conversation and the pleasures of the table.
