52,90 €
Type: Wine
Oletta is Poggio ai Laghi’s most authentic interpretation of Chianti Riserva DOCG. It is built on Sangiovese, supported by small percentages of Canaiolo, Malvasia Nera, Colorino, and a light presence of Merlot, which broadens structure and harmony without ever taking focus away from the main grape. Here, Sangiovese is expressed in its most coherent form: fresh, floral, and balsamic.

AGING
Fermentation occurs in stainless steel at controlled temperature, followed by 24 months of aging in tonneaux and second-passage barriques. Oak use is extremely measured and perfectly integrated into the wine’s structure, designed to support and enhance varietal character without covering it. The new vintage allowed perfect phenolic ripening, giving the wine notable depth and longevity.
AROMAS
The aromatic profile is fine and distinctive. Mediterranean herbs such as sage and wild mint lead the way, followed by violet notes and small red berries. The whole is elegant, clean, and harmonious, perfectly representative of the appellation.
PALATE
On the palate it surprises with balance and composure. It is an elegant wine that stimulates salivation and unfolds naturally. Notes of sour cherry return alongside good complexity, creating a sip free of sharp edges or excess, supported by a refined, well-calibrated structure.
FOOD PAIRING
A versatile, food-friendly Chianti Riserva: ideal with Tuscan cuisine, cured meats, red meats, and roasts. It also pairs beautifully with medium-aged cheeses, accompanying the meal with elegance and continuity
