Felsina Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colonia 2019

The Colonia vineyard takes its name from a heliotherapy colony, and is a project of the Poggiali family, the result of the hard work of replanting begun in 1966 by grandfather Domenico and son Giuseppe until the 1970s, a project abandoned in the mid-1980s due to excessive difficulty in breaking up the vineyard and resumed by grandson Giovanni in 1991. The 3 Poggiali generations joined forces and finally succeeded in planting the rootstocks in 1993. The following year grandfather Domenico died, leaving a symbolic value for everyone and a handover between generations. The first harvest began in 1997, and it was only in 2006 that the first vintage was bottled, free of any classification due to a coincidence that makes it even more unique, Chianti Classico from the following year.
