Bichi Borghesi Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG

Story of the Wine:

Chianti is undoubtedly one of the great names of Italian wines. There are 8 zones of Chianti, of which Chianti Colli Senesi is one and it covers the vineyards around the medieval town of Siena. Tenuta Bichi Borghesi is a large estate of over 400ha but with only 20ha under vine, which provides all the grapes for their production. The family has owned and run the estate for over 400 years, and it is with the new generation that the estate has been renewed and re-invigorated.

Grape(s): 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo

Area: From vineyards around the winery in Scorgiano on the northern border of Montagnola Senese.

Sun drenched Toscana can always pull something out of the bag and this delicious Chianti is no exception. Made at a traditional and substantial estate which has been in the same family for 400 years the Sangiovese based wine is classic in style. A full flavoured wine with distinctly earthy tones. Quite rich on the nose, followed by a substantial breadth on the palate and good length on the finish.

ABV 12.5%
