100% Sangiovese from the 3 estate vineyards vinified separately, with 5% whole cluster. Spontaneous fermentation in steel and concrete barrels with 20 days of maceration on the skins.

Powerful wine with an alcohol of 14% the result of a very hot vintage, an exceptional alcohol content for the cool area of Radda.

Traditional and powerful nose with ripe, tart cherry and notes of herbs and graphite. The wine is balanced by deep, scratchy tannins typical of the area and fresh acidity. In the mouth it is very good, slightly rustic with earthy notes and a ripe cherry and plum finish.

Great aging potential. A sip of tradition beyond any annoying rhetoric, a wine that mirrors the wild essentiality of these places.

From the producer

Pruneto

We are located in Radda in chianti, the Pruneto estate built in the second half of the 1700s, is situated on the crest of a hill in a breathtaking setting of nature and landscape. In this particular area of Chianti, woodland still predominates, about 75 percent over vineyards and olive groves, which in itself is an extraordinary fact, and one understands the important biological diversity of these historically wild lands.

The estate was purchased by the Lanza family in the 1960s and converted to a farm in the early 1970s'. The first bottling was in 1981.

Massimiliano, who represents the third generation of winemakers, tells us how the vineyards cover just over three hectares, arranged along the southern slope of the hill on which the farm rests, with southern and southwestern exposure. A single body divided into 3 plots: the first planted in 1972 in the upper part with purely sandy soil where the Sangiovese for the reserve comes from , the second from 1999 in the lower part, where the clay part is prevalent and the grapes express character and power and finally a vineyard that connects the previous ones planted in 2017.

The predominant grape variety is obviously Sangiovese, flanked by a few rows of Merlot, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo.
