Description
The Montesecondo Tin Sangiovese is a biodynamic expression of Tuscany’s most famous grape. The fruit comes from two vineyards in the San Casciano zone of Chianti Classico. The original family vineyard, generally referred to as “Montesecondo”, is lower-altitude, warmer, flatter and with heavier clay soils in the town of Cerbaia; the newer one, referred to as Vignano for the name of the tiny village, is up at 500 meters and is cooler, hillier and rich in limestone. Harvest is by hand and the bunches are mostly but not all destemmed, with varying proportions of whole bunches layered with whole berries in the concrete fermentation tank. The juice ferments spontaneously with natural yeasts and no sulfur. Aging is in concrete tank for about a year. The resulting wine is pure red cherry, with mineral edges and a lengthy finish and an overall easy-drinking profile.
