Il Chianti Classico DOCG di Istine è una magnifica espressione della tradizione vinicola toscana. Prodotto nel cuore del Chianti, questo vino è ottenuto principalmente da uve Sangiovese, con un piccolo apporto di altri vitigni autoctoni che ne esaltano la complessità. Alla vista, si presenta con un colore rosso rubino brillante, che anticipa la ricchezza dei suoi aromi.

Al naso, il Chianti Classico DOCG di Istine sprigiona un bouquet complesso e avvolgente, dove le note di frutti rossi maturi - come ciliegia e lampone - si fondono con eleganti sentori di spezie, tabacco e una leggera nota floreale di viola. Al palato, il vino è armonioso e ben strutturato, con tannini setosi e una piacevole freschezza che ne facilita la bevibilità.

Il retrogusto è lungo e persistente, lasciando una piacevole sensazione di frutta e una sfumatura leggermente balsamica. Questo Chianti Classico è perfetto per accompagnare piatti tipici della cucina toscana, come le pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale o una succulenta bistecca alla fiorentina. Un vino elegante e versatile, ideale anche per momenti di convivialità e degustazioni raffinate.

Winery history
The estate is managed by the Fronti family: the family's agricultural business traces its origins to the enterprise started by Bruno Fronti in 1959; the first vineyard land was purchased in 1982. For years the grapes were sold in bulk to third parties until the first bottling under their own label with the 2009 vintage. In 2012 they launched a project of separate vinification for cru from individual vineyards. The estate has been certified organic since the 2016 vintage.
Production philosophy
Expressive regional wines produced by prioritizing Sangiovese from individual vineyards, environmentally friendly agricultural practices, and winemaking aimed at highlighting site exposure and soil characteristics. The approach focuses on quality, limited production per individual cru, and sustainability.
Terroir and vineyards
Discontinuous vineyards located in the Chianti Classico area, characterized by high elevations and loose soils dominated by galestro and alberese. Main vineyards: Vigna Istine, Casanova dell'Aia and Cavarchione.
