ABOUT THIS WINE
Crafted by the historic Ricasoli 1141 estate, this Chianti DOCG is a vibrant tribute to the birthplace of Italy's most famous wine region. Baron Bettino Ricasoli, the 'Iron Baron,' famously defined the original Chianti formula in 1872 at Brolio Castle. This bottling represents an approachable, fresh, and highly authentic expression of Sangiovese sourced from the rolling hillsides of Tuscany. It is designed to showcase the pure, unadorned character of the region's signature grape without the influence of oak aging, offering a direct connection to Tuscan winemaking history.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes, primarily Sangiovese, are sourced from vineyards in the Chianti region. Following a careful harvest, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright primary fruit compounds and fresh aromatics. To maintain its crisp, fruit-forward profile, the wine is aged entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding any oak contact before bottling. This clean, modern approach highlights the natural acidity and vibrant red fruit characteristics of the Sangiovese grape.
