The rows, situated at around four hundred metres above sea level, are cultivated using Guyot and spur cordon methods on medium-textured soils rich in stones. The soil composition features calcareous-marl clays originating from \u003cstrong\u003eAlberese and Galestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, resting on the Monte Morello formation, with some sandy areas of alluvial origin.

The result is a \u003cstrong\u003ebroad aromatic bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e where notes of plum, blackberry, sweet tobacco and spices stand out. On the palate, elegant \u003cstrong\u003ehints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e can be distinguished, completing a persistent and refined sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe renowned \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Gran Selezione\u003c\/strong\u003e Poggio Rosso originates from the vineyard of the same name located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, the beating heart of the San Felice estate since 1968.
