Mansalto La Commenda Chianti 2016

Our pristine ecosystem of forestlands, olive orchards, vineyards, grain felds, lakes and streams offers visitors breath-taking views of an unknown corner of Tuscany and enchanting pathways through a natural paradise. Our unusually high vineyards (600 m.) allow for slow ripening and late harvesting of our grapes, giving our wines depth and delicacy.

Sangiovese 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%, Merlot 15%

12 hectares in the village of Rapale with southern exposure, 5.000 vines per hectare planted in 1992.

6 months in used barrels

24.000 bottles

Mansaltos 70 hectares of vineyards grow in small plots surrounded by forest or felds; each parcel has a different soil type, giving the wine made from that vineyards grapes a distinctive character: fruitier where there is more clay and afternoon sun, more foral in the highest vineyards, more mineral where the soils are lighter and sandier. We aim for a gentle touch in the cellar: high-quality grapes are enough for the wine to essentially make itself; short macerations, limited pumping over and racking, and used oak characterize our approach.
