Why we love it: This cuvée of Chianti Classico sees 10% Canaiolo with 90% Sangiovese, all old-vine fruit grown on Susanna’s organic, terraced vineyards at 550m above sea level. Some of our favourite Tuscan wines include Canaiolo: a once-dominant Tuscan variety that now typically plays second fiddle to Sangiovese. But it brings an added level of depth and heady aromatic complexity to Susanna’s high elevation reds, which we adore and which also lends to incredible aging potential.
Grapes are manually harvested, fermented in concrete, and then aged in a combination of concrete tanks and neutral French oak barrels for about 12 months. All fermentations are spontaneous: slow and patient transformations.
