2022 Fattoria Montellori Poggio Alla Luna Chianti

Poggio alla Luna 2022 reflects the easy charm and rustic elegance that make Chianti such a beloved table wine.
Fattoria Montellori farms hillside vineyards around Fucecchio, where Sangiovese and a touch of Canaiolo grow on clay-limestone soils that preserve vibrant acidity even in warm years. The 2022 vintage brought steady heat, clean fruit, and balanced ripeness—ideal conditions for a juicy, expressive Chianti.
Grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed, and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks to highlight Sangiovese’s red-fruited clarity. A gentle maceration keeps tannins smooth, while brief maturation in large neutral barrels rounds out the palate without adding overt oak.
The result is a Chianti that feels both traditional and effortlessly drinkable: red cherry, cranberry, and dried rose meet subtle savory notes of warm earth and herb. Bright acidity keeps the wine lively, while supple tannins carry a clean, dry finish. It’s the type of bottle that disappears quickly—straightforward, honest, and beautifully suited to everyday Tuscan cooking.

Nose: Fresh red cherry, dried rose, and sweet herb with hints of soft earth and spice.

Palate: Juicy cherry and red plum glide across smooth tannins, lifted by lively acidity and subtle savory tones.

Finish: Clean, dry, and bright with cherry skin, gentle spice, and a mineral edge.

A natural partner for rustic Italian fare—try it with tomato-basil pasta, herb-roasted chicken, or pecorino with olive oil and cracked pepper. Its bright fruit, soft tannin, and refreshing acidity bring harmony and lift to every simple, flavorful dish.
