Volpaia , Citto, Toscana IGT, 750ml, Tuscany, Italy

The Estate
That of the Volpaia area is a unique terroir in the Chianti Classico area. The vineyards about 45 hectares are over 400 m. above sea level, on predominantly sandstone soils rich in skeleton suitable for the production of elegant and long-lived reds, harmonious and aristocratic wines that manage to maintain the fruity aromas of the best Sangiovese for a long time.
Typical wines of the so-called “Alto Chianti”; and easily recognizable for the composite elegance of their bouquet referable, in addition to the microclimate of the area, also to the very particular clonal selection carried out by the farm that led to the rediscovery and re-engagement of ancient indigenous Sangiovese strains. This long process led to the creation of 3 Crus: Coltassala, Il Puro and Balifico, each with its own distinctive features.
The Wine
Citto is the selection of the best organic grapes of the Tuscan hills. Scent of cherries and red fruits lead to a balanced and round finish wine.
 
Vineyards
Citto is made from a selection of the best grapes from our IGT vineyards in the Chianti Classico and Maremma areas.
