Sanforà - Tuscany Rosso IGT 2022 Chioccioli Altadonna

Sanforà was born from a precise question that Niccolò Chioccioli Altadonna asked himself when faced with the grape variety he knows best: what happens to Sangiovese when you stop vinifying it in the way it has always been done and entrust it to the Impruneta terracotta amphora? The answer is this wine. Not a provocation, not an experiment for its own sake, but a pure Sangiovese that, through one of the oldest containers in wine history, acquires something that wood cannot provide: a clear minerality, a vibrant sapidity, and a freshness that remains intact throughout the maceration period. Six months in contact with skins, pips, and indigenous yeasts, with malolactic fermentation occurring spontaneously in the amphora without intervention: the wine builds itself, using its own tools. The name refers to the four elements that converge in every bottle: the earth of the sunny vineyard in Gaiole, the fire that forges the amphora in the kilns of Impruneta, the water of the resting wine, and the air of Chianti observing from above.
