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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThis wine is crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes cultivated in the Cavarchione vineyard, located in Gaiole in Chianti at an altitude of 420 meters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe vineyard's soil is rich in galestro, a type of marlstone, contributing to the wine's distinct minerality. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eIn line with Istine's commitment to organic practices, the grapes are harvested early to preserve their natural acidity and freshness.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAfter destemming and gentle pressing, the must undergoes less than six hours of maceration to achieve the desired color and flavor profile.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 16 °C (61 °F) to enhance aromatic compounds, and the wine is aged in stainless steel to maintain its crisp character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42231650779159,"sku":"Italian:IT103IC001-25","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Istine_Rosato_2024.jpg?v=1744395906","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/istine-igt-toscana-rosato-2025","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
