He makes transparent, nuanced wines that capture the essence of Radda. Aging in cement and neutral large-format oak allow these wines to be quite expressive and distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Bugialla is another superb offering from Poggerino. Dark, virile and strapping in nature, the 2021 is a big, dramatic wine. Macerated black cherry, licorice, dried herbs, lavender and spice are all amplified in the glass. The 2021 spent two years in cask, all of which it needed. (Drink between 2025-2036)\" 94 pts - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This juicy red delivers raspberry, cherry, pomegranate, underbrush, iron and rose hip aromas and flavors. Firm, powdery tannins and lively acidity take over by the finish, keeping this well-defined and long. Best from 2026 through 2042. \" 95pts - Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A saturated red color, the 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna Bugialla is expressive on the nose with aromas of preserved red cherries, roses, forest floor, and sage. The palate is elegantly structured, with ripe tannins, refreshing acidity, and balanced ripeness with a compact medium frame. It only improves as it opens and comes into focus with some air. Drink 2025-2037. Compared to the 2020, this 2021 has a leg up in terms of clarity and aging potential, and it has more focus and purity throughout. (Drink between 2025-2037)\" 94 pts -Audrey Frick (jebdunnuck.com)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Bugialla vineyard was planted in the mid-1970s. Stony shale soil with underpinnings of clay gives sturdy structure, particularly to this bottling, which is crafted from a selection of small berries. The warm south- to southwest exposure coaxes out ample ripeness, yet there is such a prettiness of fragrance in the 2021 that almost belies its power. Plum blossom, dark cherry, cinnamon and mocha tantalise the nose. On the palate, the richness and volume of fruit is in full evidence. Warming but lovely in texture, its confident dry, chalky tannins keep this in check.
