Description

The Chianti Classico DOCG from San Leonino, in Magnum format, represents the authentic essence of the Chianti territory, in the heart of Tuscany. This wine is mainly made from Sangiovese, the signature grape of the area, which best expresses the unique characteristics of the hilly terrain and the Mediterranean climate. The aging in oak barrels gives the bottle a harmonious balance between freshness and structure, enriched with elegant spicy notes and aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum.

On the nose, it is enveloping, with a thread of floral scents and hints of aromatic herbs that evoke the surrounding rural landscape. On the palate, the tannic texture is soft but persistent, offering a pleasant roundness and a savory finish that invites a second sip. Ideal with roasted meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, it is a Chianti Classico DOCG that fully expresses the character and vitality of its land.

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 Over the centuries the area was at the center of territorial conflicts between Florence, Siena and Volterra; historical documents attest to the estate's economic presence as early as the 13th century.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