Descrizione
What kind of wine it is
Gineprone Chianti is a red wine from Col d’Orcia, created from a balanced blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. It displays an intense ruby red colour and offers a bouquet where plum and ripe fruit harmoniously blend with delicate woody spices. On the palate, it stands out for its balanced structure, enhanced by soft, mature tannins. The sip finishes with a fresh, fruity aftertaste, confirming an enveloping character and a pronounced aromatic persistence.
Where it comes from
This red originates in Montalcino, from vines grown at around four hundred and fifty metres above sea level. The calcium-rich soils and minerals give the wine an innate elegance. The Mediterranean climate, protected by Monte Amiata and tempered by Tyrrhenian breezes, ensures a consistent ripening of the grapes. The wine’s name refers to a large juniper typical of the local woodland landscape. The entire production of the winery adheres to the strict principles of organic farming.
How it is produced
The process begins with fermentation on the skins at a controlled temperature in large steel vats, ideal for a gentle extraction of the components. The wine then matures in oak barrels from Slavonia and Allier, the same woods chosen for the winery’s historic reds. A final resting period sets the structural balance, blending the vibrancy of the original fruit with the spicy notes acquired during the slow ageing process in perfect harmony.
History and Curiosities
Gineprone takes its name from a majestic juniper tree located next to the vineyard, a proud symbol of the local vegetation. This organic Chianti DOCG is produced in Montalcino at the historic Col d’Orcia estate, established in 1933 and fully certified organic since 2010. The 2022 vintage expresses the elegance of the estate’s tradition thanks to maturation in Slavonian and Allier oak barrels. As the same barrels used for Brunello are employed, this red wine acquires a balanced structure and a deep connection with its extraordinary territory of origin.

Le origini della Tenuta risalgono alla prima metà del XVII secolo quando la famiglia dei nobili cavalieri senesi Della Ciaia costituì nella zona di Sant'Angelo in Colle una proprietà di anno in anno sempre più vasta. Nella seconda metà dell'ottocento passò in proprietà ai Servadio e successivamente ai Franceschi.
Nel 1973 il conte Alberto Marone Cinzano, rilevò l'azienda, con l'obiettivo di contribuire allo sviluppo ed all'affermazione di Montalcino e del suo Brunello sui mercati mondiali.
