Description

Tenuta San Vito - 2019

100% Sangiovese which undergoes an 8-10 day skin maceration with regular pump-overs to extract colour and tannin. Typically Tuscan with savoury red fruit character, balanced acidity and freshly picked cherries on the palate. Matured in bottle to harmonise and develop. Brilliant organic Chianti.

91 Points – JamesSuckling.com, ‘Some really good freshness to this Chianti in the form of blackcurrants, freshly ground herbs, red blums and Chinese spices. Medium to full body, round tannins and a spicy finish.’ September 2018 (2017 vintage)

90 Points – JamesSuckling.com (2015 vintage)

ABOUT THE ESTATE

Tenuta San Vito is located in the rolling hills of the Chianta Colli Fiorentini region, just 18 kilometres from Florence. The quality and authenticity of its wines and olive oil have always been of paramount importance, as has the deep respect for the environment. Furthermore, the development of its agritourism business with holiday-letting rooms and apartments, swimming pool and restaurant, is the fruit of a restoration project that demonstrates San Vito’s resolve to preserve the qualities and characteristics of the traditional Tuscan way of life and architectural style. The winery sits on top the hill of San Vito, surrounded by woods and graced by a small lake. Of their 126 hectares, 20 are planted with olive trees and 34 with grapes. Under the direction of its founder, Roberto Drighi, Tenuta San Vito was planted with specialised vineyards and olive groves from 1960 onwards. Sangiovese grapes are king here. The construction of a cellar and olive press-house subsequently led to the production of the first wines and olive oils. In the early 1980s, thanks to the far-sighted thinking of Laura Drighi, one of Roberto’s daughters, the winery converted its entire cultivation practices to organic farming, and was officially certified as such in 1985. Effectively, since 1982 San Vito has been cultivating its crops according to organic principles, and produces its wines and olive oils without any use of weed-killers, pesticides, or synthetic chemical treatments. Grapes are harvested at the optimum moment, either by hand or by machine, depending on the scale and topography of the vineyard. Roberto invested much time and expense in re-aligning the various plots of vines to the best clones and the most appropriate training/pruning regimes. The winemaker, Attilio Pagli, is Tuscan born and bred with a real feel for the authenticity of the wines in his charge. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by maturation in either glass-lined vats for the more fruit-focused wines (San Vito Chianti) or traditional large Slavonian oak casks and French oak barrels for the premium selections .

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Kloudy – April 24, 2015

    Like Chianti used to taste.

    Vibrant, full flavoured, punchy and still fresh. I love, love, love this wine. Like being at the side of Lake Garda without getting on a plane.

    Great all round wine

    I have been drinking this wine for over a year now and still really enjoy it. I find it a subtle taste that blends well with most dishes and is equally good on its own. Several of my friends have said how nice it is and where it’s from.
    I was in Tuscany recently and wanted to go to the vineyard to see where it’s made and try some more wines but alas due to lack of time I didn’t make it. Next time!

    Suprisingly good Chianti

    Chianti can be hit and miss in my experience, great to find an organic one that’s so tasty and great value
