Gran Selezione Canto Dieci | 2016

Gran Selezione Canto Dieci | 2016

In the tenth Canto of the Inferno, Dante refers to the Arbia river – which defines the limit of our property to the East – as running red during the battle of Monteaperti between Florence and Siena in 1260. The wine sets a new course for our top Sangiovese, and we took inspiration for its name from this landmark on our Estate. Canto Dieci was described by Decanter Magazine as “beautifully concentrated brambly fruit and liquorice with layers of smokey complexity and a light dusting of nicely melded oak”, in awarding it Highly Recommended status in it’s judging of over 300 Chianti Classico producers.

Harvest Notes

2016 was at the time, the best vintage in our brief history. The weather was ideal all year, with rain and fine spells at the right times, without any event that could stress the plants. The harvest was wonderfully slow and serene, and it allowed us to make three selections of Sangiovese, most of which was definitely top. Also the Cabernet was spectacular. In short, a fantastic vintage.
Harvest period September 22nd – October 23rd
