Made from Sangiovese grapes, it appears in the glass with a bright ruby colour. The bouquet is deep and complex, intertwining aromas of morello cherry and violet with notes of mace, leather, mint and blond tobacco. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003emedium-bodied structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a pleasant freshness and a \u003cstrong\u003evigorous tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. This dynamic balance harmoniously accompanies robust first courses, flavourful pork dishes, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e area in Tuscany. The vineyards are located in Radda in Chianti, home to the Istine winery, with additional plots in Gaiole in Chianti. The vines are situated in high hillside areas to enhance the different nuances of \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e. The constant variations in altitude, soil and exposure enrich the aromatic profile of the grapes. This territorial matrix is clearly reflected in the glass, ensuring a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003erefreshing acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pronounced gustatory energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with the \u003cstrong\u003eseparate vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e of the different plots, an essential practice to respect the identity of each vineyard. After a fifteen-day fermentation, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, refining the structure without masking the purity of the fruit. The entire process follows strict organic methods. To fully appreciate its elegance, it is recommended to decant for one hour and serve at a temperature between fourteen and sixteen degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1982 in Radda in Chianti by oenologist Angela Fronti, the Istine winery demonstrates a deep commitment to the local area.
