Sanfirenze Chianti Superiore DOCG Organic

From a Sangiovese vineyard with limited yields, for superior quality and concentration

A Sangiovese with character, deep and structured, aged in oak and in the silence of the hills

The Chianti Superiore Sanfirenze from Fattoria di Sammontana

Chianti Superiore Sanfirenze comes from a single Sangiovese vineyard that flanks the southern side of the estate, where yields are deliberately limited to achieve greater quality and concentration. Grown organically and biodynamically, it is a wine with greater depth than the Chianti of that year: more structured, intense, and suitable for aging. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and aging in oak barrels for six to eight months enhance its complexity without obscuring its varietal identity. Bottled unfiltered, in just 6.000 bottles, it is a Sangiovese of character that elegantly expresses its cru and the dedication of its producers.
 
 
 

The roots of this Chianti Superiore are sunk in the heart of Sangiovese

Sangiovese is Tuscany's flagship grape, the soul of every great Chianti wine. The "Superiore" category represents a higher level of quality, reserved for wines made from lower yields and longer aging, according to a production process that rewards concentration and longevity. The practice of selecting a single, low-yielding vineyard is rooted in the most ancient winemaking wisdom, the ability to recognize the soils and exposures capable of producing the best results. Fattoria di Sammontana honors this tradition with its organic and biodynamic approach, capturing in the bottle all the nobility of a Sangiovese cultivated with patience and respect for time.
 
 
 

Choosing Chianti Superiore Sanfirenze means taking care of yourself

A wine produced organically and biodynamically, without filtration, represents a conscious choice for a more natural and authentic experience. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts preserves the original characteristics of the grapes and the integrity of the product. Sangiovese from limited yields is particularly rich in polyphenols, anthocyanins, and noble tannins, compounds with recognized antioxidant properties. Consumed in moderation, this full-bodied red wine is part of the convivial Mediterranean tradition. Choosing a wine from biodynamic agriculture also means supporting sustainable farming practices that respect the vitality of the soil and the biodiversity of the vineyard.
