Podere Poggio Scalette ★ 4.6
Vittorio Fiore's old-vine Sangiovese estate at Ruffoli above Greve in Chianti. Il Carbonaione, from vines planted in 1924, is a Tuscan purist single-vineyard benchmark.
Tip: Il Carbonaione drinks magnificently around 8 to 12 years post-vintage; visit the Greve cellar by appointment for vertical comparisons.
