A pure, 100% Sangiovese Chianti Classico DOCG sourced from the estate's best plots. Unlike the barrique-aged Cultus Boni Riserva, 'RS' sees very little oak, favoring freshness and fruit purity over extraction — a lighter, more approachable, food-friendly expression of estate Sangiovese with soft tannins and vibrant acidity.
Proof that Sangiovese doesn't need heavy oak to be expressive — a lighter, no-nonsense side of the estate.
