Description
What kind of wine it is
Chianti Stomennano is a Tuscan red wine with Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin, featuring a structured profile. It is the result of a harmonious blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero and Colorino, vinified in steel and aged in barrels. To the eye, it displays an intense ruby colour with bright violet highlights, while on the nose it reveals clear aromas of red fruit jam and liquorice, enclosed in a broad and complex bouquet. On the palate, it expresses a full-bodied character, supported by austere yet refined tannins and a pleasant freshness. The balanced taste leads to a persistent finish, ideal for accompanying grilled meats and flavourful dishes.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Monteriggioni, in the Sienese territory crossed by the historic Via Francigena. The Stomennano estate stands in an ancient medieval hamlet built on Etruscan and Roman ruins. The vines, trained with the spurred cordon method, sink their roots into loose, shallow soils. It is the subsoil, rich in grey clay and tuffaceous rock, that shapes the wine’s identity, giving the grapes the strength needed to develop a marked tannic texture and a structure suitable for long ageing.
How it is produced
After crushing and destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The maceration on the skins lasts eighteen days and involves pumping over and délestage to optimise the extraction of colour and phenolic compounds. A key stage is the malolactic fermentation carried out in wood, which softens its profile. The wine then continues with barrel ageing for ten months, followed by a further six months of rest, a period necessary to harmonise the structure and deliver a velvety sip.
History and Curiosities
Produced in Monteriggioni, along the historic Via Francigena, the fascinating Stomennano Chianti DOCG is born in a medieval hamlet built upon ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins. The estate, whose existence has been documented since 1059, combines the centuries-old winemaking tradition of Siena with the memory of ancient travellers. This extraordinary historical heritage makes every bottle a genuine tale of the past.
