Chianti Classico Riserva Vigneto Branca Cigliano di Sopra 2021
From a selection of the best grapes from the Branca Vineyard comes the homonymous Vigneto Branca 2020 wine. A pure Sangiovese, part of the grapes are processed with stems while the remainder is destemmed.
Fermentation is operated by indigenous yeasts and aging in French oak barriques lasts 14 months. Fundamental is the contact with the fine lees that are left in order to enrich the wine.
Az. Agr. Cigliano di Sopra - San Casciano in Val di Pesa
The history of Fattoria Cigliano di Sopra begins way back in 1300 with the Bardi family.
From generation to generation, then, the important complex of the Fattoria di Cigliano di Sopra farm comes down to the present day in which the family of Maddalena Fucile, current winemaker together with Matteo Vaccari, manages the farm and the adjoining agriturismo.
The Cigliano di Sopra farm is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico production area, and more precisely in San Casciano in Val di Pesa. Of the 32 hectares, 8 are dedicated to viticulture, 17 hectares are dedicated instead to olive groves and the remaining 7 are occupied by parks and woods. The alluvial nature of the soil, given the proximity of several streams and rivers, allows the vines to be protected from excessive water stress even in the driest years.
A young, close-knit team works to create wines that are new and innovative but maintain the characteristics that make Chianti Classico important.
