A businessman from the Veneto, he sensed the huge potential of what he'd taken on and set about restoring its vineyards, olive groves, woodland and buildings. His daughter Ada and her son Arrigo look after the estate today, producing the top tier Sangiovese (all organically grown) that goes into this glorious Chianti Classico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine itself is made by Franco Bernabei and his son Matteo Bernabei, top Italian wine consultants who specialise in the Sangiovese grape. (Franco is often referred to as “Mr. Sangiovese.”) As you would expect, it’s a beautiful wine. It opens with intense cherry fruit, violet, baking spice and leather aromas. The palate shows dark cherry, raspberry and wild herb flavours with smooth, polished tannins. Nicely balanced, with fresh acidity, it’s a wonderful food wine, ideal with a platter of salumi, or your favourite pasta dish.
