Denomination: Chianti Classico Docg. Grape variety: 100% Sangiovese. Growing area: Northeast of Siena, in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, on the southern border of the Chianti Classico zone.
Chianti Classico is the cornerstone of the estate’s production. The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the outheastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, to the southeast of Siena. Almost exclusively with a southwestern exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320-420 meters above sea level. Geologically, the terrains are mixed: in the higher parts the soil is predominantly rock quartz and calcareous alberese mixed with alluvial pebbles; strataform sandstone and loam characterize the vineyards on the edge of the Colli Senesi in the direction of the Crete Senesi. First vintage 1967.
After the quality-selected clusters are de-stemmed and pressed, the must is fermented and macerated in stainless steel for 12-15 days at 28°C and 30°C, with programmed punchdowns and daily umpovers. In March-April, the new wine goes into medium-size Slavonian oak barrels, and a small percentage into twice and thrice used oak arrels; after 12 months of maturation, the final blend is assembled, bottled, and ages in glass a minimum of 3 months.
Ruby red with deep intensity and hue. Fruity, fine and elegant aromas dominated by wild berries, along with array of spicy notes. Fruity on the palate.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
