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.
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.
When to drink it

RedMerlot
A single-grape Super Tuscan made from 100% Merlot grown on Casa Emma's estate vineyards in Chianti Classico, bottled as Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT. It has a dense, purple-red color and elegant, complex notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, prune and plum, with pleasant mineral undertones.

ハレナエ
Harenae
RedSangiovese
An amphora-aged Sangiovese bottled as Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT, named 'Harenae' — Latin for sand or terracotta, honoring the material used to build the amphorae. The wine is completely vinified and aged for twelve months in 1,000-liter spherical terracotta amphorae, using grapes grown under organic and biodynamic farming practices. This method yields a crunchy fruitiness and grippy tannin, making Harenae one of Casa Emma's most focused, precise expressions of pure Sangiovese. Production is limited to around 2,000 bottles per vintage.
