INFO: The Azienda Agricola Il Borghetto do things differently in this most well-known and prestigious of Italian wine regions. Its determination to make the best wines possible has occasionally placed it at odds with the Consorzio of Chianti Classico, who lay down strict rules about what can and can’t be done. However, incredible results prove that a little rebellion pays off once in a while:
Each block is fermented, pressed, racked and aged separately. Fermentation typically includes 10% whole bunches. Vinification involves minimal intervention, with fermentation using indigenous yeasts and ageing in concrete vats for 12 months.
Lifted floral notes and ripe red fruit aromas lead into bright, juicy cherry flavours. Medium‑bodied in style, with fine, well‑integrated tannins and a fresh acidity that brings balance and poise to the finish.
