CHIANTI D.O.C.G. “IL SOSSO”

According to the best Tuscan tradition, this Chianti is a young fruity soft wine, ready for consumption in the spring following the harvest. Our goal is to produce Chianti as it used to be, but revisited in a modern key: all this thanks to the use of classic vines such as Sangiovese Canaiolo and Colorino vinified following the most innovative winemaking techniques. From lunch to dinner, so many possibilities of food pairing for a timeless wine that combines tradition and innovation.
