Variety: Sangiovese

Even though the estate Monte Bernardi dates back to 1085 in the region of Panzano in Tuscany, Michael Schmelzer and family purchased the estate in 2003 and have been making beautiful Sangiovese-based wines and olive oil ever since. The property’s vineyards are situated in the hilly, southern-most region of Panzano, an area that has been acknowledged as one of the “Grand Crus” of Chianti Classico. Most of the vineyards are more than 40 years old. Before 1992, the grapes were sold to neighboring farms. The Schmelzer family, originally from Michigan, purchased Monte Bernardi in 2003. As winemaker, Michael has invested time, love and money in the vineyards, the winery and villa. The property was certified biodynamic in 2004.

Retromarcia is more than the sum of its parts; its name is an ode to the classic elegance of the historic style of Chianti. Sangiovese shines on its own in this wine coming from vines planted between 2003 and 2010 from estate fruit in Panzano. Ageing is completed over 18 months in large casks. This is fresh and fruity, though with well-balanced acidity and structure.

Variety: Sangiovese 

Though this a fairly recent project based in Radda in Chianti, Istine’s reputation has quickly risen to the top of the Sangiovese playing field. With rave write-ups in the New York Times, Wine Spectator, and Forbes, winemaker Angela Fronti is proving she has what it takes in a region historically dominated by patrimonial lineage. Angela, who comes from a long line of peasant farmers, left Tuscany to study enology but ultimately decided to return and put down roots in Radda. With some of the highest elevation holdings in the commune, she farms multiple plots of land creating Cru Level Chianti with a precision rarely seen at this price point. Without a doubt a producer to watch.

Harvested and meticulously selected from Istine’s three top estate vineyards, Istine, Casanova dell'Aia, and Cavarchione, the juice from each vineyard is all fermented seperatley for 12 months in 20hl Slavonian oak casks before blending. Once blended, ‘Levigne’ ages for 12 more months in a 30hl oak casks then spends at least 12 months in the bottle. The soils in these vineyards are mineral rich with limestone and fossil deposits allowing the wine great complexity and the added aging helps to round out the tannin for a supple and lush drinking experience.
