Poggio Civetta is a winery that focuses on expressing the traditional values of Tuscan winemaking while embracing modern techniques to ensure quality and consistency. The estate is located in the rolling hills of Tuscany, where the vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate and ideal soil conditions that enhance the cultivation of the Sangiovese grape. The warm, sunny days and cool nights, along with well-draining soils rich in limestone and clay, allow the grapes to ripen fully while maintaining the necessary acidity for balanced wines.
The estate prides itself on producing wines that respect the environment and the land. With an emphasis on sustainability, Poggio Civetta utilizes careful vineyard management practices to promote biodiversity and preserve the natural beauty of the area. The winery’s approach is centered on low intervention, allowing the grapes to speak for themselves, with minimal use of additives and sulphites.
A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo & Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Deep, ruby red in colour, this Chianti Classico offers aromas of ripe cherries and red plums, with subtle notes of toasted vanilla beans and purple flowers. On the palate, the wine displays a superbly structured character with bright acidity and a pleasantly savoury finish.
It is excellent with richly-flavoured dishes, especially the traditional specialties of Tuscan cuisine, grilled steaks and matured cheese.
