It forms the basis of world-renowned wines such as Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Sangiovese thrives particularly well in Tuscany, where the warm climate and calcareous soils produce elegant wines with great character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSangiovese is known for its fresh acidity, refined tannins, and aromas of ripe cherries, plums, violets, and Mediterranean herbs. Depending on the wine style and oak aging, notes of vanilla, tobacco, leather, and spices can also emerge. Thanks to its beautiful balance of fruit and freshness, Sangiovese is a particularly versatile wine that pairs excellently with pasta, pizza, grilled meats, game dishes, and aged Italian cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you choose an accessible Chianti or a powerful Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese always showcases the character of its origin.

The rest continues to age in Slovenian oak barrels averaging 3,000 liters. After another year, it is decided what the special Rosso (Vermiglio) will be made from, and that is then bottled. The rest continues to age for another year as Brunello. After these three years of aging, it is determined whether a Riserva will be made, and if so, which barrels qualify.

The Costa Grande first matures for about a year in 5-hectoliter tonneaux, after which it is transferred to larger oak barrels of about 25 hectoliters. It remains there for another year. Subsequently, the wine rests for a few months in concrete tanks and then approximately 6 to 12 months of bottle aging before it is released to the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is quite remarkable for a Vino Nobile that is not a Riserva and explains why this wine can develop considerable complexity.

Since 1991, the family has been specifically selecting different clones of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile here, tailored to the soil and microclimate.

Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, with a maximum fill of about two-thirds, and uses indigenous yeasts. The temperature is controlled between approximately 27 and 31 °C. During the initial phase, short pump-overs are performed, and the cap is manually submerged. After alcoholic fermentation, maceration can continue for another 7 to 10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubsequently, the individual cuvées mature for 18 to 24 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels of 5 to 10 hectoliters. Only then are the different batches blended. The wine then undergoes approximately one year of bottle aging before being sold.
