THE GRAPE 
Sangiovese 


The soil of Vigna Dofana has a clay base, layered with silt and sandy areas. The result is a structured, vigorous Sangiovese with excellent ageing potential. 

From the first sip, Carpineta Fontalpino’s Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Dofana captivates the senses with its intense ruby color, brilliant and inviting. On the nose, it reveals an intriguing and varied bouquet, blending notes of chocolate, cinnamon, and black pepper, accompanied by a fresh fruity vein. This aromatic complexity foreshadows a unique tasting experience, where the wine unveils itself as majestic and enveloping. The tannins, while present, are sweet and well-integrated, offering a pleasant softness on the palate. The finish is long and persistent, enhanced by delicate hints of vanilla and tobacco, inviting another sip. Ideal for pairing with rich, flavorful dishes.
