The Poggio Teo Chianti Classico from Valiano is produced from a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot grapes grown in the Castelnuovo Berardenga area, in the province of Siena. The namesake cru extends over hilly terrain facing South, East, and North, at an altitude of approximately 350 meters above sea level. The three slopes were vinified separately. After harvest, the clusters were transported to the cellar for destemming and soft pressing. Alcoholic fermentation of the must was accompanied by a 10-15 day maceration on the skins. Aging took place for 3 months in barriques and 9 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by an additional 3 months in the bottle.
