Poggio Bonelli

Chianti producer balancing Sangiovese tradition with Cabernet and Petit Verdot exploration.

Poggio Bonelli sits in Chianti, the heart of Toscana, where Sangiovese defines the regional identity. The winery's portfolio centers on this classical grape—evident in the Chianti Classico Riserva, a pure Sangiovese expression of structure and aging potential. Poggiassai Toscana blends Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon, a pairing that brings depth and complexity to the Tuscan framework. Tramonto d'Oca Toscana, built on Petit Verdot, offers a distinctive counterpoint, introducing the textural weight and tannin architecture that this Bordeaux variety brings to central Italian terroir. The winery's wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter, reflecting their standing within serious wine criticism. Poggio Bonelli's range moves between the traditional—Sangiovese-anchored Chianti—and the experimental, exploring how non-native varieties can coexist with Tuscan tradition.
