The Poggio Scalette Chianti Classico grapes comes from the vineyards on the steep slopes of the Ruffoli hill, resplendent and unique. Stony and steep, but generous in giving quality grapes that are produced, made more so by a perfect south-west

Another tribute from Vittorio Fiore to the territory of Chianti Classico, in which, by now, has been working for several decades and that has always donated wines of superb quality. |
