90% Sangiovese/10% Colorino-Canaiuolo. From certified-biodynamic vines in San Casciano in Val di Pesa at the northern edge of the Chianti Classico zone. The fruit comes from two sites--one lower-lying, warmer, with heavier clay soils with alluvial stones, the other much higher, cooler, north-facing...

This Syrah comes from grapes matures "at the peak" of the de' Canonici vineyard. Aged for two and a a half years in bottle, Stefano only produces this in exceptional vintages; he feels that this bottling represents the "family silver".    

The La Gerla Brunello is a blend of both the Canalicchio and Castelnuovo vineyards; the average age of the vines is 25 years old. The grapes are kept cool for 7-8 days before fermentation, which lasts up to 15 days. The wine is then transferred to large 50-100hl casks and is aged for three years,...

Ciliegiolo, meaning “cherry-like”, is usually reserved as a blending grape. Bottled on its own, it shows remarkably bright red fruits and fresh acidity.  There have been conflicting studies, but Ciliegiolo is either a parent or offspring of Sangiovese.  San Ferdinando’s version comes from 1.7...

95% Sangiovese and 5% Petit Verdot, aged 24 months in barrique.

IGT Rosso is a newer addition to Sanguineto's small line-up and an outlier in a few ways: it is their only IGT wine; their only one from a young plantation (2017) of Prugnolo Gentile; and the only monovarietal wine from Sanguineto. As for vignaiola Dora Forsoni...

70% Sangiovese/30% Ciliegiolo. The 2025 marks the first time Pettirosso is a dual-vintage, thus technically a "non-vintage", blend, as a result of particular vintage circumstances. The 2023 was as usual a Ciliegiolo-Sangiovese mix from Fonterenza's Mt. Amiata vines (10 miles from the winery on...

100% Cabernet Franc from the Ampeleia di Sopra parcels at 450-600 meters above sea level. Vines were planted between1995 and 2004.  The grapes are fully destemmed and there is a maceration of 20 days.  Fermented in cement tanks and 5000-6000L casks. Aging is 12 months in these same vessels,...

Canaiolo, usually one of the prime blending partners for Sangiovese, is seen here in purezza. Canaiolo may take its name from “rosa canina” (rosehip), and those bright, brambly flavors are certainly on display in this focused, energetic wine. 3 weeks of maceration.  Aging in cement for 10 months. ...
