with sweet marrow and gravel

150 cases imported

Noble and savoury but embryonic

This is not overly concentrated but the harmony of expression is impressive and I very much like the complex floral quality of the finale

Drink it over the coming decade

Monsanto, Il Poggio Gran Selezione other_regions_australia with sweet marrow and gravelThe Castello di Monsanto 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Il Poggio shows dark fruit and baked plum with a hint of barbecue spice or campfire ash.

I also get a hint of sweetness to close that makes a good contrast against that savory element. This wine is 95%
