Additional Information

Geografico's Governo Bosco del Grillo is made in a Ripasso-style. After the first pass through the vineyards, about 50% of the grapes are picked. While this first part ferments, the remaining grapes ripen further. These grapes are dried and added to the first part, initiating a second fermentation. The blend consists of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 5% Colorino and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The company 'Agricoltori del Chianti Geografico' was founded in 1961. It was a cooperative that has since been acquired by Piccini. At Geografico, every vineyard that comes under management is evaluated by the geologist and the vineyard specialist. They advise on the best grape varieties and rootstocks. They then help the owner with the vineyard setup and constantly with vineyard management. An expert winemaking team makes the wine.

Finally, there are 'state-of-the-art' bottling lines. This quality philosophy is combined with a focus on terroir: the grapes for the higher-end wines always come from a single vineyard and are therefore named after their domain. The wines are produced in a classic way with little intervention in the winemaking process. This results in honest, pleasant-to-drink wines that are also sharply priced.
