Descrizione

The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG from San Leonino, coming from the Tuscan hills of Chianti, represents the excellence of the Gallo Nero territory. Obtained from pure Sangiovese grapes or with a predominance of this variety, it stands out for a rigorous aging process, which includes a long period in oak barrels, capable of enhancing the structure and complexity of the wine.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color, enriched with garnet reflections that reveal its maturity. The bouquet offers enveloping aromas of cherry, plum, and sweet spices, with pleasant notes of vanilla and tobacco deriving from aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well balanced, with soft yet firm tannins, persistent in the finish.

Ideal with roasted meats, aged cheeses, and traditional Tuscan dishes, this Chianti Classico Riserva embodies the character of a unique terroir, capable of thrilling with every sip.

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 Over the centuries the area was at the center of territorial conflicts between Florence, Siena and Volterra; historical documents attest to the estate's economic presence as early as the 13th century.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