Il Chianti Classico DOCG Al Limite di San Leonino è una testimonianza superba della tradizione vitivinicola toscana. Questo vino, nato nel cuore del Chianti, si distingue per la sua complessità e raffinatezza. Ottenuto principalmente da uve Sangiovese, il Al Limite incarna l'essenza del terroir di questa rinomata regione vinicola.

Al calice, si presenta con un colore rosso rubino intenso, con riflessi granati che testimoniano un accurato processo di affinamento. Al naso, offre un bouquet aromatico ricco e complesso, caratterizzato da note di frutti rossi maturi, ciliegia, e prugna, arricchite da sentori speziati di pepe nero, tabacco e un piacevole tocco di vaniglia derivante dall'invecchiamento in botte.

All'assaggio, il Chianti Classico Al Limite si rivela corposo e ben strutturato, con tannini morbidi e vellutati che donano equilibrio e persistenza al palato. La freschezza dell'acidità tipica del Sangiovese è ben bilanciata da una piacevole morbidezza che rende ogni sorso invitante e armonioso. Il finale è lungo e avvolgente, con retrogusto di frutta matura e spezie dolci.

Questo vino è ideale per accompagnare piatti tipici toscani come la bistecca alla fiorentina, la selvaggina e formaggi stagionati. Un Chianti Classico che racconta una storia di tradizione e passione, perfetto per gli amanti dei vini di grande carattere e personalità.

The winery

San Leonino – Winery in Toscana

Discover the story and wines of San Leonino.

Winery located in the heart of Chianti Classico (Castellina in Chianti), specializing in single-varietal wines made from Sangiovese and part of the Angelini Wines & Estates group.
Region: Toscana
Country: Italia
Grapes: Sangiovese
It is part of the Angelini Wines & Estates group. Range focused on single-varietal Sangiovese: Al Limite, Monsenese, Salivolpe and Governo all'Uso Toscano. Vineyards located between 300 and 430 metres above sea level on alberese and galestro soils. 52 hectares of vineyards in the historic heart of Chianti Classico. First recorded sale of a bottle of Chianti Classico in 1973.
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 Over the centuries the area was at the center of territorial conflicts between Florence, Siena and Volterra; historical documents attest to the estate's economic presence as early as the 13th century.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.
