The grapes, 100% Sangiovese, are selected and harvested exclusively from the Istine (Radda in Chianti), Casanova dell'aia (Radda in Chianti), and Cavarchione (Gaiole in Chianti) vineyards.

The altitude varies from 480 to 550 meters above sea level. The soils are rich in "scheletro" (a mix of large stones and rocks) with alternating layers of marly limestone (Alberese and Galestro) and varying percentages of clay.

The average production is around 4,000 bottles for this fabulous blend from the three company Crus. This wine is elegant and significant. A silky tannin marries a constant and dense mineral note. The fruit notes are darker, with ripe cherry and blackberry, and a spicy juniper finish. This is a truly great red wine, with structure and character.

From the producer

Istine

A Family Story

The story of Istine is a blend of tradition and entrepreneurial spirit. Its roots lie in the Fronti family's passion for the land.

It all began in 1959 when Bruno Fronti founded a company providing agricultural services. After years of experience in the winemaking world, the family decided to cultivate their own vineyards. In 1982, the first plots of land were acquired, and today the winery manages about 20 hectares, spread across Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti. This "mosaic" style of cultivation, with separate parcels, gives each plot of land its own unique identity.

For a long time, the grapes were sold to other wineries, but the desire to tell their own story led to a change. With the 2009 vintage, the winery bottled its first wine, marking the beginning of a new era with its own label.
