If you are looking for a unique expression of the Sangiovese grape, than Montesecondo Tin is where your search should bring you. In the village of Cerbaia in the Chianti Classico area, Silvio and Catalina toil away on the family estate purchased by Silvio’s father in 1969. The Montesecondo Tin is 100% Sangiovese from 25 year old vines that are grown biodynamically. What makes this wine stand out is the fermentation done in terra cotta amphorae casks. This techniques goes back to Roman times when it was very common to ferment wine in this fashion. This technique along with the use of ambient yeasts produces a wine that is very concentrated on the palate. The focused red berry aromas and the dark crimson color immediately draw you in and lead you into the soft tannins and red fruit flavor. This is the perfect wine for Braciole de Manzo or any traditional italian fare.
