title: Castello di Monsanto 1998 Il Poggio Riserva  (Chianti Classico)
description: In this vintage, Monsanto's flagship wine, made from 90% Sangiovese Grosso, is a prime example of traditional Chianti. It features racy, dry cherry fruit, hard edges and structure galore. Whether it will evolve into a more open and friendly wine remains to be seen; normally Il Poggio ages well and improves in the bottle.
variety: Sangiovese Grosso
