Tenuta Ormanni Chianti Classico

A classic Chianti from the traditional heartland

Very, very highly regarded Chianti Classico, with many years ahead of it. This is Sangiovese with intensity and value, flavours of sour cherry, spice and earth.

The wine is ruby red in colour with an intense fragrance and gentle and balanced structure. The Ormanni Chianti Classico conjugates pride, elegance, fruitiness and a great drinkability.

The 13th Century Ormanni Estate is located right in the heart of Chianti, between the towns of Poggibonsi and Castellina-in-Chianti. Proof of the incredible heritage of this Tuscan property can be found in Dante Alighieri’s “Divina Commedia”,where the Ormanni family is mentioned. For the last 200 years the estate has been owned by the Brini Batacchi family. The Ormanni property covers an area of 242 ha of land, 68 of which are vineyards dedicated principally to the cultivation of the Sangiovese grape.

Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature of 27-28°C

Sangiovese

Sangiovese

Italy’s most planted black grape and the pride of the Tuscan wine region, Chianti. Sangiovese is commonly labelled by its regional name rather than by variety, and you’ll often find it blended with other black grape varieties.

Sangiovese is a bit of a chameleon, taking on different stylistic expressions based on where it grows. From the delicate floral strawberry aromas of Montefalco Rosso to the intensely dark and tannic wines of Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese wine has something for everyone.

Producing dry wines with high tannins and high acidity, Sangiovese offers a wide range of tastes from very earthy and rustic to round and fruit-forward. Regardless of where it’s grown, it always has red fruit flavours (red cherry, red plum) with notes of tomato and dried herbs.
