Chianti Colli Senesi

Chianti Colli Senesi “Campriano,” produced by the historic Fattoria di Campriano (located in Murlo, just outside Siena), is an authentic and vibrant expression of the Sienese territory. Unlike classic Florentine Chianti, this wine is often distinguished by a more immediate drinkability but not without character.

Here are the key points:

Organoleptic Profile

• Color: Bright and vibrant ruby red.

• Nose: Typically varietal, dominated by notes of fresh cherry, violet (violet) and subtle hints of berries.

• Taste: Dry, savory and medium-bodied on the palate. It is characterized by a pleasant freshness and lively but well-integrated tannins, making it extremely versatile at the table.

Technical Characteristics

• Grapes: Predominantly Sangiovese, often accompanied by small percentages of native grape varieties such as Canaiolo or Colorino, according to local tradition.

• Philosophy: Fattoria di Campriano often follows organic farming methods, aiming for maximum expression of terroir without heavy wooden superstructures.

Ideal Pairings

It is the classic “all meal” wine of Tuscan cuisine:

• First courses: Pasta with Tuscan meat sauce, pici all’aglione or legume soups (such as ribollita).

• Main courses: Grilled meats, roast chicken or rabbit, and local cured meats (finocchiona and salame senese).

• Cheeses: medium-aged Pecorino cheeses.

Style note: While Brunello is a “giant” for meditation and long aging, Chianti Colli Senesi Campriano is the ideal companion for everyday conviviality, celebrated for its streamlined elegance and great freshness.
