Chianti Classico DOCG Al Limite, signed by San Leonino, is an authentic expression of the Chianti Classico territory, the beating heart of Tuscany. Produced mainly with Sangiovese grapes, this wine encapsulates in its wooden barrels a heritage of tradition and artisanal care, enhanced by careful aging that imparts structure and harmony.



The Jeroboam wooden case holds a Chianti of intense ruby color, with vibrant aromas of ripe red fruits, notes of cherry and violet, accompanied by delicate spicy hints and a balsamic background. On the palate, it is well balanced, characterized by velvety tannins and a savoriness that invites a next sip.



It pairs perfectly with rustic dishes such as game, roasted meats, and aged cheeses, evoking the warmth of the Tuscan landscape in every sip. A journey through the typical flavors of Chianti Classico, to be discovered slowly.

The winery San Leonino
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 Over the centuries the area was at the center of territorial conflicts between Florence, Siena and Volterra; historical documents attest to the estate's economic presence as early as the 13th century.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.
