Chianti Superiore Do
A charming Chianti that balances traditional and modern winemaking to create a refreshing take on Sangiovese.​ Three different ageing processes go into craft the profile here: cement, tonneau and large oak barrels.
Vineyard
Sant’Ansano is a hamlet of the Municipality of Vinci, which​ is the birthplace of Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. The wine zone is part of the Montalbano Hills,​ an area that has long been suited for the production​ of wine and was recognized in 1796 by the Bando Granducale as a prestigious wine area.​
Winemaking
Carefully selected grapes are harvested by hand. Maceration of two weeks in cement tanks followed by 10 months of aging between different vessels: the first third in cement, the second third in tonneau of 600 litres and the remaining time in large wood barrels of 30 hectolitres.​ The wine ages in bottle for another six months.
Vintage
Balanced by late Spring rains and a hot, dry summer, resulting in structured but lifted wines.
Tasting Note
A feeling of freshness prevails on the palate thanks to well-balanced tannins that allow for easy drinkability and a long finish.​ A brambly fresh red berry character mingles politely with a wild savory character, typical of Sangiovese.
