Fattoria di Sammontana Chianti Liter FIASCO Bio 2022

Fattoria di Sammontana Chianti Liter FIASCO Bio 2022 is a joyful, old-school Chianti bottled in the traditional 1-liter straw-covered fiasco — perfect for the table and made for generous sharing. Crafted from organically grown Sangiovese and Canaiolo, it delivers all the charm of classic Tuscan red in a fresh, vibrant style. Unfiltered, gently sulfured and spontaneously fermented, this is Chianti as it used to be: honest, rustic in the best way, and wonderfully drinkable.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chianti shows a bright, transparent ruby-red color with youthful violet reflections, underlining its freshness and easy-drinking character. The nose is open and inviting, with wild red-berry notes reminiscent of cherries, redcurrants and raspberries, joined by a touch of cassis, dried herbs and a light floral lift. On the palate, it is juicy and lively, with crunchy red fruit, a fine, refreshing acidity and those pleasantly youthful, lightly rustic tannins that make Chianti such a natural partner at the table. The wine is medium-bodied, not heavy, with a dry, savory finish that leaves a mouthwatering, slightly herbal aftertaste. While best enjoyed in its young, vibrant phase over the next 3–4 years, it has enough structure to hold and develop a little extra complexity in bottle over the short term.

Production
The grapes for Fattoria di Sammontana Chianti Bio are sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the heart of Tuscany, where Sangiovese and Canaiolo grow on classic Tuscan soils of clay, limestone and river stones, benefiting from warm days and cooler nights. The fruit is harvested by hand to ensure careful selection and brought quickly to the cellar. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts, emphasizing the character of the terroir and the vintage. The wine is then aged in a combination of concrete and stainless-steel tanks to preserve purity and freshness, and it is bottled unfiltered with only a small addition of sulfur, maintaining an authentic, minimally intervened style. Finally, it is filled into the traditional straw-wrapped 1-liter fiasco, a nod to the historical way Chianti was served and enjoyed.

Food & Serving
This is a natural fit for everyday Italian cooking and rustic, flavorful dishes. Pair it with tomato-based pastas, pizza Margherita, grilled sausages, roast chicken with herbs, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or hearty vegetable stews and bean dishes like ribollita. It also works beautifully with aged pecorino and simple antipasti of cured meats and olives. Serve at about 16–18°C (60–64°F); a light chill on a warm day won’t hurt its charm. Decanting is optional, but a brief splash into a carafe or some time in the glass can help the wine open up and may let any natural sediment settle.
