This is the flagship expression of Candialle and their best selection of Sangiovese, made as others would a riserva (though not labelled as such). It is aged 18 months in barrique and tonneaux, about half which are new. This is a stylish, concentrated wine with perfumed black cherry fruit, the palate structured and elegant with crunchy acidity and fine tannins.
Steeped in tradition, the Candialle winery is located approximately 20 km south of Florence along the Via Chiantigiana - the famous route that leads through the hills and vineyards of the Chianti Classico DOCG to Siena.
Candialle's vineyards are nestled below the historic village Panzano in Chianti in the famous Conca d'Oro, the valley of the "Golden Slopes". The winery occupies a total of 34,77 ha of which 9.7 ha are planted to vine.
