The roots of this Sangiovese are deep in the soul of Tuscany

Sangiovese is Tuscany's iconic grape, the grape that produces its most celebrated and beloved reds. According to a suggestive etymology, its name derives from the Latin "sanguis Jovis," meaning "blood of Jupiter," a testament to the variety's antiquity and nobility. Vinifying it young, enhancing its freshness and fragrance, harks back to a rural tradition where the vintage's wine accompanied family life. The whole-bunch fermentation technique, which enhances the fruity and floral aromas, is a refined tribute to this youthful spirit. Fattoria di Sammontana preserves this legacy through its organic and biodynamic practices.
 
 
 

Choosing Sangiovese means taking care of yourself

A wine produced organically and biodynamically, without fining or filtration, represents a conscious choice for a more natural and authentic experience. Spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts preserves the original characteristics of the grapes and the integrity of the product. Sangiovese is naturally rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, compounds with recognized antioxidant properties. Whole-bunch fermentation, enhancing freshness and vivacity, yields a light-bodied wine, best enjoyed in moderation in the convivial Mediterranean tradition. Choosing a wine from biodynamic agriculture also means supporting sustainable farming practices that respect the vitality of the soil and biodiversity.
