Descrizione

BELVEDERE1 – CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG

Belvedere1 – Chianti Classico DOCG – 100% Sangiovese from our estate vineyards, rooted in Pliocene clay and sedimentary stones. Crafted in small batches using traditional methods: spontaneous fermentation in open concrete vats, 30 days of maceration, 12 months aging in both concrete and oak casks.
Fresh, vibrant, and smooth yet unusually concentrated, it combines Sangiovese’s pure fruit with earthy, spicy notes from the soil. Medium-bodied, balanced, and persistent—delicious now, with great potential to age.
