Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape(s): Sangiovese 90%, Canaiolo 10%
Location: Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Tasting Notes: The most typical and traditional wine of the estate. This is a classic young Chianti: fresh and lively, light to medium bodied. Organic and biodynamic viticulture.
Notes: Maceration and slow spontaneous fermentation on its own yeasts in glazed cement tanks with frequent pump overs and punch downs. Aged in steel and concrete vats, the wine is bottled without filtration.
The Domain: The Fattoria di Sammontana with the adjacent Romanesque church of the 12th century , originally a property of the Medici family, Grand Dukes of Tuscany , was donated by them to the religious canons of the church of San Lorenzo in Florence. The monks used this property as a place of rest and retirement, but they also built a large underground cellar and nearby constructed a grand furnace with overlapping arches for the production of pottery and terracotta. In 1867, the main building along with the church, furnace and entire farm was bought by Michele Dzieduszycki, a Polish nobleman whom loved spending his vacations in Tuscany.
His son, Maurizio, specialized in art and Renaissance literature, married an Italian woman and thus came to reside permanently in Tuscany. But it is Maurizio’s son, Massimo, to whom we owe credit for first directing the farm to excellence in quality wine and oil production.
