TASTING NOTES

Production

Grignano lies at the heart of Chianti Rufina, a historic wine-growing region. Chianti Classico Velaia is made from Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes grown on the hills of the northern Chianti Classico area, specifically the Greve in Chianti region, which faces predominantly south-east. The clay soils and east-facing aspect lend the wine a natural freshness even in the hottest vintages.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Ruby red in colour, Chianti Classico Velaia reveals notes of red fruit, leather, tobacco and spices on the nose. Dry and medium-bodied on the palate, with good freshness and substantial tannins. Twelve months’ ageing in large casks lends toasted notes to the finish.

Occasion and Pairing

A bottle to place at the centre of the table and savour at leisure during a Sunday lunch, pairing it with substantial white meat and vegetable dishes.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Grignano

A point of reference for viticulture in the Chianti Rufina area, north-east of Florence, close to the Apennines, lies Fattoria Grignano. The history behind this place is very ancient: the earliest records date back to the Bronze Age, not to mention the remains of Etruscan and Roman buildings that can be seen here. Well aware of its historical and territorial relevance, the Inghirami family purchased these 600 hectares in the heart of Tuscany in 1972. The Grignano vineyards grow luxuriantly on clay and limestone soils, at an altitude of up to 400 metres above sea level. Together with excellent sun exposure and a microclimate consisting of climatic variations, these elements guarantee excellent maturation of the grapes, which are rich in aromatic notes. Fattoria Grignano wines undergo intense ageing processes: depending on the designation, they pass from oak barrels or French barriques to bottles, where they stay for a further six months. Fruit of the peculiarity of the place and the extreme care of its managers is an elegant wine that best represents the character and freshness of the Rufina grapes, Sangiovese above all. Name and address of producer/distributor: Grignano - Via di Grignano, 22 - 50065 Pontassieve (FI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
