AbstractCherry, dried herbs, lively acidity

Winemaker
Daniele and Dario continue Sammontana's family farming tradition. Vines, olive groves and the wider agricultural landscape are managed together, with organic and biodynamic practices supporting the health of the ground.

Wine
This is a direct expression of Sangiovese from Sammontana's Tuscan vineyards. Cherry fruit, a little dried herb and the lively acidity that makes Sangiovese so useful with food. The tannin gives a gentle frame without crowding the palate. Open with tomato-based dishes, roast pork or a tray of aubergines.

Origin
The farm lies around Montelupo Fiorentino, west of Florence. Limestone-rich ground forms part of the local Tuscan landscape. Summer warmth ripens Sangiovese, while hillside conditions help preserve the acidity behind its savoury, lively outline.
