Stage #11
Stage #11 of Sommelier Wine Box (February 2019) was led by Stefano Carmassi , who took us on a journey into the heart of Chianti Classico.
Chianti Classico has many expressions, many terroirs and many protagonists that make us reflect and tell us extraordinary stories of lands and men , and in their sincere elegance prepare us for a sensorial analysis of great value. The Sangiovese grape regulates everything, giving us splendid and different wines from village to village. The morphology and geology of the Chianti soil are very variable: within a few hundred meters we can find different soils and therefore wines with different taste-olfactory ranges. This is the richness of a wine and of a historical denomination made up of a multitude of small and medium-sized companies, which make environmental sustainability, care of the territory and defense of the landscape their daily objective . The wineries proposed in the February 2019 Wine Boxes are: Oliviera , Fattoria Rodano and Il Palazzino .
