After the death of its previous owner, Poggio Scalette remained abandoned for years until Vittorio Fiore, one of Italy’s most famed winemakers, discovered the property in 1991 with his wife, Adriana. In 1996, 42 additional acres of land became available, enabling them to expand. It was discovered that the plot of land known as Il Carbonaione was the first area to be replanted after World War I (1914-1918), which means these vines, more than 90 years old, are a rare example of the original clone of the famous Sangiovese di Lamole variety in the Chianti Classico area. The slopes of the Greve Valley are without question some of Italy’s most ideal locations for vineyards and olive groves. The combination of exposure and soil composition contributes to the excellent quality of the wines and the extra virgin olive oils of the area. Named for the river that passes through as it travels from a medieval hilltop town, this area happens to be one of the most important historical centers of the Chianti Classico region. Il Carbonaione, Poggio Scalette’s signature wine, is the culmination of knowledge and experience and therefore an important message of quality. Vittorio Fiore dedicates this wine to Tuscany and to Sangiovese — the region and the variety that have allowed him to fulfill his aspirations to produce superb wine.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-01-11T15:55:37-05:00","created_at":"2024-01-11T10:51:36-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK100124","Other_Wine","Producer_Podere Poggio Scalette","Region_Tuscany","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0124","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Sangiovese"],"price":349100,"price_min":349100,"price_max":349100,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44190183948426,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Podere Poggio Scalette | Chianti Classico","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":349100,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_8ba124e5-9b40-47e8-afa7-200de169c21d.jpg?v=1704988363"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_8ba124e5-9b40-47e8-afa7-200de169c21d.jpg?v=1704988363","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Podere Poggio Scalette | Chianti Classico at CaskCartel.com","id":25879200137354,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.296,"height":1200,"width":355,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_8ba124e5-9b40-47e8-afa7-200de169c21d.jpg?v=1704988363"},"aspect_ratio":0.296,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61_8ba124e5-9b40-47e8-afa7-200de169c21d.jpg?v=1704988363","width":355}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Podere Poggio Scalette | Chianti Classico\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright ruby red in color, a lively bouquet of red fruits and blackberries complement undertones of ripe cherries and pomegranate seeds.
