It is made from \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes from the best vineyards of the Castell'in Villa estate, located in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, south of Siena.\nThis cru represents one of the most refined interpretations of Sangiovese thanks to vines over 25 years old, exposed to the south and south-east on soils rich in galestro and alberese. The result is a wine of great character, full-bodied and harmonious, capable of evolving gracefully over time.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2003 vintage, characterized by a hot and dry climate, produced grapes of extraordinary aromatic concentration. Yields were naturally contained, offering a more mature and intense fruit. In the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva 'Poggio delle Rose' 2003\u003c\/strong\u003e, this translates into a wine with a mature and complex profile, with polished tannins and remarkable gustatory and olfactory persistence.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nWinemaking follows tradition with particular attention to expressing the terroir.\n- \u003cstrong\u003eAlcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e is spontaneous, activated by indigenous yeasts naturally present on the skins, and takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures.\n- This is followed by prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins, useful for extracting color and soft tannins.\n- The wine then ages for 24-36 months in wood: partly in Allier barriques (50% new) and partly in large Slavonian oak barrels.\nAfter bottling, the wine remains in the cellar for at least 12 months, completing its bottle aging before release. This choice guarantees balance, depth, and a very harmonious drinkability.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva DOCG 'Poggio delle Rose' 2003 - Castell'in Villa\u003c\/strong\u003e captivates with its maturity and complexity, maintaining an unexpected freshness for a wine over twenty years old.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIntense ruby red with garnet nuances at the rim, a sign of long evolution in the bottle but still vibrant brightness.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is broad and profound: ripe red fruits, brandied cherries, and plums alternate with hints of sweet tobacco, cocoa, and spicy notes of black pepper and licorice.
