From a prized single vineyard at high elevation, Casasilia (the estate's original name) is the winery’s most structured and age-worthy wine. 100% Sangiovese, aged in large oak casks for 18 months, it shows layered aromas of dark cherry, fennel seed, tobacco leaf, along with Tuscan underbrush. Deep, refined, and savoury Chianti Classico Gran Sezelione, ideal for the cellar, but drinkable now with a good decant. Pair with bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-cooked lamb, or spaghetti with fresh truffles. We received some magnums and 3 -3-litre bottles as well!
750ml mlWine Advocate Tasting Note (2017 Vintage)
91 Points - "An organic (and vegan) wine, the Poggio al Sole 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Casasilia comes from a hot and dry vintage. Instead of the darkly concentrated and super ripe fruit you might expect of this vintage, this wine is downplayed and soft instead. It opens to a mid-weight texture with moderate intensity played out as cassis, wild berry and sour plum. The tannins are integrated and the finish is not too short, but not too long either. I suggest a nearish drinking window of about five years with some grilled vegetables."
Wine Advocate Tasting Note (2015 Vintage)
92 Points - "The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Casasilia is a standout wine that delivers elegance and intensity. This vintage paints a generous and cheerful portrait of the Sangiovese grape, and Poggio al Sole has captured that spirit with this bottle. Soft layers of cherry and wild berry segue to crushed stone, grilled herb and blue violets. Only 9,500 bottles were made."
Winery Tasting Note (2017 Vintage)
Broad, deep fruit with enticing hints of bramble, forest floor and havana tobacco. Honed, elegant maturity on the palate and a long finish.

"The “Conca Tre Pile” is a hilly area in Bussia Soprana where the vines are predominantly Barbera, with vineyards having a maximum age of 45 years. The barrels (“barriques”) are made of 100% new wood. Tangy and fresh with almond, plum and peach flavors. Medium body and a clean finish. Delicious and textbook." James Suckling

Poggio al Sole is known for its excellent Chianti Classico, so Johannes Davaz was initially reluctant to plant Bordeaux varietals on his hill in Tuscany. But he can't argue with the results: the Poggio al Sole Ponente. This IGT Rosso Toscana (Super Tuscan) is made from 1/3 each of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Look for intense aromas and overall freshness. The taste is warm with notes of ripe fruits. Round and complex with ripe tannins, it shows hints of spice and minerality. Perfect to pair with Florentine Steak. Organic and vegan friendly!

The Oddero Barolo DOCG 2017 is a classic expression of Barolo. Its rustic persona is apparent on both the nose and palate; You see elements of dried rose petals, truffles, terracotta, fried sage leaves, licorice, cranberry and red currant following through on the finish. 100% Nebbiolo and 100% Organic!
Mushroom Risotto, wild boar or Piave Cheese will be great to pair with this wine. You can even pair this Barolo with a hearty Lasagna, an elegant Carbonara or even your favourite pizza!

A step up in complexity from its ready-to-drink Rosso Di Montepulciano sibling, this elegant organic red wine (made of 90% Sangiovese, 5% each Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon) drinks like a baby Brunello thanks to 18 months spent in French oak. A robust, full-bodied wine with a smooth tannic structure allows it to pair with red meats and sharp cheeses alike - the perfect complement to a romantic Tuscan meal.
