Established in 1961 Poliziano has over the last 10-15 years put significant effort into improving the quality of their wines including eliminating less favourably situated vineyards, replanting vineyards with better clones and the establishment of a state of the art winery.

Deep dark red colour with a crimson red hue. The nose is quite perfumed with aromas of dark cherries intermingling with some violets followed by cedar, earth and spice. Medium bodied the palate features delicious flavours of dark cherries over some earth, cedar and spice. Dryish finish with fine grained tannins. Very savoury with a medium to long aftertaste of dark cherries, earth and spicy cedar. A very well made Chianti.
Cellar 3-4 years.
