Winemaker Notes
The agricultural enterprise Chiappini is in the heart of the DOC Bolgheri at Via Bolgherese, the road where the most important wine estates of the Bolgheri region are located. The story of this farm tells us about the consistently renewed family tradition of the head of the family, Giovanni Chiappini, son of farmers that had moved from Marche to the Bolgheri region in the fifties. This tradition was inherited by the two daughters Martina and Lisa who assist their father in the estate. The particular difference in the work and the growth of the Chiappini family is found in their special connection to the land , interpreted as mother earth and cultivated in a symbiosis with the working power. An alliance at all times vital and never detrimental.
The Winery occupies 27 ectars and is developed on four different estates, whose inspired the names of the wines. Between 1978 (Le Grottine estate) and 2012 (Ferruggini estate), the enterprise acquired its current shape, even though its business center is still on the Via Bolgherese, where there is the cellar, the agriturismo and the 20 years old vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, where we collect our best grapes for the Bolgheri Superiore Guado de' Gemoli and for the monovarietal Lienà collection.
"Every label is inspired by a specific area of the property, so that it is possible to trace a map of taste by strolling through out vineyards."
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
