Since the first harvest in 2009, the Istine family business in Tuscany has continued to engage in the production of Chianti Classico, evolving and growing, but remaining tied to traditions and the territory.
The grapes used come exclusively from the Casanove dell'Aia, Istine and Cavarchione vineyards, which are distinguished by their high altitude and predominantly rocky soil. Once the manual harvest has been completed and a year has elapsed, we proceed with the selection of the small masses that will become "Riserva Levigne", that is the best expression of the vintage. Only 4,000 bottles of this wine are produced each year and it is aged for a total of 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
The wine has a brilliant ruby red color and the nose perceives notes of cherries and raspberries with a hint of liquorice and mint in the background. On the palate it is tasty and full-bodied but elegant at the same time.
It goes perfectly with meat dishes to share at a dinner with family or friends.
