About this wine

A single-vineyard Chianti Classico Riserva made from 100% Sangiovese grown on the two-hectare Vignalparco plot — the vineyard famously tended by a flock of 80 domestic geese, who naturally fertilize the soil and eat weeds and harmful insects instead of tractors, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. The wine shows bright ruby red with violet reflections, intense blackberry and blackcurrant aromas over balsamic undertones, and a structured, velvety-tannined palate with great persistence. Fermented with 15 days of skin maceration, it ages 24 months in second- or third-use French oak tonneaux, then 6 months in bottle. Rated 93 points by Wine Enthusiast.

Beginner's Note

A memorable story wine — the 'geese vineyard' Riserva — with real structure behind the novelty.

Sommelier's Note

"The rare Riserva you can explain in one sentence: 80 geese, one vineyard, 100% Sangiovese — and the wine backs up the story with real concentration and length."

Food Pairings

Structured enough for braised beef, wild boar ragù, and aged pecorino toscano.
