Vineyard Language : |
The San Vincenti farm covers 60 hectares of land and is situated in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti, at an altitude of between 350 and 450 above sea level. The soil is made up of sand and marl rock. Two estates go to make up the farm: Stignano with 6 hectares of vineyards, with a density of 6,000 plants per hectare, all of the Sangiovese variety and Le Corticelle with 2 hectares of merlot vines, with 6,000 plants per hectare.
The vines are all completely exposed to the midday sun.
The company does not use pasteurising refrigeration methods, therefore a slight deposit should be considered a sign of authenticity
The owner of this enchanting private estate in Gaiole in Chianti is called Roberto Pucci, a dynamic entrepreneur just into his sixties from Prato, who having fallen in love with the marvellous Chianti area some years ago decided to dedicate all his resources to the production of wines with a great character. Leading the project is a man sacred to Italian oenology, Carlo Ferrini, a complete connoisseur of Chianti Classico and the maker of cult wines sought after by wine lovers the world over.
The Wine
