Cigliano di Sopra, Chianti Classico Riserva Vigneto Branca 2021

Variety: Sangiovese  Cigliano di Sopra totals eight hectares over about a dozen plots. The wind cooled parcels face every cardinal direction, giving the winery a comprehensive range of sun and wind exposure. Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari are the talented duo behind the Chianti Classico wines of Cigliano di Sopra. In Maddalena’s family since the early 20th century, the estate goes back to the 12th century. Historically a producer of bulk wine, Maddalena and Matteo have transformed the estate into a producer of precise and prolific styles.  From the 1972 plantings this 100% whole cluster Sangiovese is a Tuscan gem. Elegant, seductive, the wine is aged 14 months in used French barrique. Produced in tiny amounts.
