Wine Description:
Castello di Monsanto Vigneto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a premium wine produced by the renowned Castello di Monsanto winery in the Chianti Classico appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Il Poggio vineyard, which is known for its high altitude and rocky soil, resulting in grapes with intense flavors and aromas.

This wine is a perfect choice for those seeking a premium Chianti Classico with exceptional quality and character. Pros:
