The Algricoltori del Chianti Geografico winery was founded in 1961 and is now owned by the Piccini family. It is a major player in the Italian wine market thanks to its extensive vineyard portfolio. Each vineyard is individually analyzed by a geologist and a vineyard specialist. This results in a specific recommendation, outlining which grape varieties would best ripen on that plot and the appropriate classification. The vineyard is then tended to, resulting in unique, high-quality wines at a competitive price.
The Primitivo grape is known for its early ripeness and is often used to produce high-quality red wines. When the Primitivo grapes reach peak ripeness, they are harvested entirely by hand and taken directly to the winery. Everything is geared towards high quality, so only the finest grapes are selected. Fermentation follows, and the wine is left to rest for several months.
In the glass, this Primitivo glows deep red. The aroma reveals distinct notes of cherry and blackberry, complemented by the warm aroma of chocolate. A beautiful combination that captivates the nose. The palate is refined, delightfully fruity with notes of vanilla and cocoa. What's particularly striking about this wine is its freshness. This is a unique characteristic of this Primitivo, not often found in wines of this quality. The freshness makes the wine more vibrant and refreshing, allowing the flavors to fully develop. The finish is pleasantly long, and the flavors linger in the mouth.
