Ferro13 - Hacker Sangiovese | Italian Red Wine

The heart of Tuscany – the hills of Greve in Chianti, 300 metres above sea level.

Harvested in late September. I am 85% Sangiovese grape with an alcohol content of between 13% and 13.5% depending on the year.

Mindful of tradition but with an eye to innovation, my vinification and maturation processes takes place separately for each plot and terroir. One part matures for 6-7months in steel while the other half ages in casks for 6-7 months.

Once the maturation period is complete, the blend is assembled and rests in a vat for a month before being bottled. Cosmopolitan and sporty, I am liked for my structure and freshness as well as my bouquet which recalls notes of sweet violet and small red fruits.
