A Pair of 2018 Fattoria Poggerino Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla Magnums (1.5L)
Vinous notes from Galloni on Poggerino: “Piero Lanza makes wines of notable character that capture all the finesse of Radda. Over the last decade or so, quality has grown in dramatic fashion, driven by much gentler winemaking than in the past. The Chianti Classicos are vinified in cement and aged in either cask or cement. I find a purity in these wines that is incredibly distinctive.”
Vinous notes on 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla: 94 pts, “The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla is a bold, dramatic wine. Ample and generous in feel, the 2018 wraps around the palate with serious density that continues to build through to the finish. Black cherry, mocha, lavender, licorice and spice fill out the layers. This is an especially rich, heady style for Radda, and it works so well.”

Double decanted and drank over two days. Reticent nose, especially at first, then giving way to black fruit, no alcohol burn. Red and black fruit on the palate, that Sangiovese flavor in the background, lively tannin although not overbearing. Overall enjoyable now but will get better in a year or two (of course). 90 today.Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

This was slightly more closed than my last bottle, I gave it a decant, and it‘s opening up slowly over a few hours. Still a very beautiful Chianti Classico Riserva, elegang and layered, full of freshness too. I would give this a few more years now though.Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Deep pretty dark color. Needs a short moment to open up in the glass, but seems to be still open for business. Notes of dark and dark red cherries, lavender, savory herbs, also some graphite, but mostly brighter and lifted despite the darker fruit. It‘s medium-full bodied, with excellent mid-palate persistence, has pretty high acidity and medium+ tannin that is exceptionally silky. Long finish with plenty of tension and freshness. A lovely Riserva from this excellent producer.1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
