Description

In the heart of Tuscany, San Leonino offers this Toscana IGT Governo all'Uso Toscano in Magnum format, an authentic expression of a winemaking tradition deeply rooted in the territory. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes, which are carefully harvested and subjected to the characteristic governo method, an ancient technique that involves adding dried grapes to make the wine softer and fuller-bodied.

The result is a vibrant red, with an aromatic bouquet recalling ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, accompanied by spicy notes and light earthy nuances. On the palate, it is full, with velvety tannins and a long finish that invites pairing with robust meat dishes, such as braises or game. The Magnum version enhances its complexity, ideal for special occasions to share.

A true tribute to the Tuscan vocation, capable of evoking the warmth and passion of this land with every sip.

Winery history

The estate takes its name from the parish church of San Leonino in Conio, mentioned in documents from the early Middle Ages. Over the centuries the area was at the center of territorial conflicts between Florence, Siena and Volterra; historical documents attest to the estate's economic presence as early as the 13th century. In recent decades the property changed hands several times until its acquisition by the Angelini group. The first bottle of Chianti Classico marketed by the estate dates to the 1970s.

Production philosophy

Production is built on two pillars: the grape variety and the terroir. San Leonino interprets the tradition of Chianti Classico with an artisanal, research-driven approach, focusing on single-varietal Sangiovese wines and on highlighting historic local techniques such as Governo all'Uso Toscano to express freshness, elegance and a connection to the alberese and galestro soils.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti, on three altitude bands between approximately 300 and 430 metres above sea level, with southeast to southwest exposure. Soils range from sand and clay in the lower parcels to galestro and alberese in the higher parcels. The estate reports a total area of around 100 hectares, of which 52 are planted with vineyards and 6 with olive groves, all within the historic heart of the Chianti Classico.
