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.
