On the nose, it offers a spicy and intense bouquet, intertwining notes of cherry, blackberry and wild berries with mineral nuances, leather and tobacco. On the palate, it reveals a solid structure with well-integrated acidity, enhancing the \u003cstrong\u003efine-grained tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and delivering an enveloping sensation that culminates in a taut and persistent finish. Thanks to its organoleptic qualities, it is an ideal accompaniment for \u003cstrong\u003egrilled red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e or a traditional \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan lentil soup\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Poggio a Rancia vineyard in Castelnuovo Berardenga, a historic plot located between 350 and 420 metres above sea level in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The south-west facing slopes benefit from a climate characterised by marked \u003cstrong\u003edaily temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential for proper aromatic development. The soils have a calcareous matrix dominated by \u003cstrong\u003ealberese and galestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with quartz sandstone and alluvial pebbles. This specific \u003cstrong\u003egeological profile\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the wine a profound earthy complexity and a distinct mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are usually hand-harvested at the beginning of October. After destemming, \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in steel tanks. Maceration on the skins lasts from sixteen to twenty days, supported by daily punch-downs and pump-overs to encourage optimal aromatic extraction. Afterwards, the wine is transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e where it matures for eighteen to twenty months, gaining structure and depth. The production cycle concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least six to eight months.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1983 in the highest area of Poggio a Rancia, this renowned \u003cstrong\u003epure Sangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e owes its name to an ancient monastic estate located in Castelnuovo Berardenga.
