Poliziano - Montepulciano, Tuscany.
Dino Carletti entered the world of viticulture in 1961 to maintain a living contact with the place and culture of his origins. The name Poliziano pays homage to the 15th Century poet Angelo Ambrogini who hailed from Montepulciano and was knicknamed "Poliziano”.
Dino’s son Federico Carletti took over in 1980 and has since grown Poliziano from 22 to 240 hectares, of which 130 hectares are dedicated to the production of sangiovese or "prugnolo gentile’ as it is locally known, planted predominately on the southern flank of Montepulciano.
Today, the Poliziano wines evoke the historic tradition of the land, but at the same time speak eloquently to the modern world. Theirs is a developing narrative… they retain their original labels, but have matured and evolved over time, always with the objective of uncompromising quality and expression of terroir.
Tasting Notes
Grapes/Blend
80% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo Nero, Mammolo
Vinification
The varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel vats, with the alcoholic fermentation lasting about 7-10 days. The wine remains in stainless steel until bottling, in March of the year following harvest.
Food Matching
A very drinkable and versatile Chianti, ideal to accompany antipasto, pasta dishes, risotto and pizza. Try it with char-grilled peppers and melanzane (eggplant), roast rabbit or chicken, or Scarmorza (fresh Tuscan cheese) grilled on an open fire.

Enjoy now and over the coming 3 years.
