Vigna Pomona meets and exceeds these requirements with an approach that reveals remarkable winemaking maturity: 15 months in large Slavonian oak casks to build structure without imparting aggressive new-oak tannins, followed by 9 months in glass-lined concrete tanks - a modern and intelligent choice that preserves the aromatic freshness and minerality of Sangiovese without interference from any porous vessel - and finally 6 months of bottle aging before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Pomona vineyard is the heart of this wine: a single plot planted with 100% pure Sangiovese that expresses the full character of the Tuscan terroir with a precision that only parcel selection can deliver. The 2021 vintage in Chianti Classico was particularly favorable - a steady spring and a warm summer with cool nights that preserved Sangiovese's natural acidity, producing grapes with excellent concentration and balanced phenolic ripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it is elegant and precise: fresh cherry and sour cherry, violet, tobacco, Tuscan herbs, delicate leather, and an earthy, iron-like minerality that is the unmistakable signature of great Sangiovese grown on galestro soils. On the palate, it is structured and vertical - firm yet well-polished tannins, lively natural acidity that forms the backbone of quality Sangiovese, freshness that ensures longevity, and a long, persistent finish with notes of red fruit, spices, and earth. Serve at 18-20°C; it shows its best qualities between 3 and 10 years after harvest. At €28, it offers one of the most compelling quality-price ratios across the entire Chianti Classico Gran Selezione category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58271575769462,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/Nuovoprogetto_78.jpg?v=1789392909"}],"url":"https:\/\/emporiodivino.com\/en\/collections\/chianti.oembed","provider":"Emporio diVino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
