Fattoria Sonnino Description

80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo, 5% Trebbiano.

The wine represents the typical and historical tradition of Chianti in this area. This blend of grapes, still includes a very small percentage of white grape. The result is a fresh wine very fruity and floral. A lively and joyful wine with good acidity. This wine suits simple dishes and typical tuscan cuisine. No ageing in wood. Good to drink young.

The Castello Sonnino with its thirteenth-century tower, symbol of the territory of Montespertoli, overlooks the valleys of Florentine Chianti. Here, for over two centuries, the Sonnino family has been producing wines and extra-virgin olive oils of remarkable character, fusing a profound knowledge and love of the earth with a constant spirit of research. Today, Baron Alessandro de Renzis Sonnino steers the company along this path between tradition and experimentation, resulting in the creation of one of the most interesting wines of the new Tuscan generation.

Castello Sonnino produces wine guided by the philosophy of the great “Chateaux”, choosing to work only with the grapes grown in its own vineyards, which extend over more than 40 hectares. The Sonnino wines have oodles of personality and character, fruit of the particular features of a terroir which since 1997 has been endowed with the specific denomination of Chianti Montespertoli D.O.C.G, the smallest of the Chianti denominations. The arrival of Baron Alessandro de Renzis Sonnino in 1987 opened up new horizons: the traditional Chianti grape varieties of Sangiovese and Canaiolo were joined by Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.

Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points

Aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate and Bing cherry balance undertones of graphite and soil on the nose, with pepper and spices lurking in the background. The peppery undertone carries through onto the palate, turning spicier and warmer thanks to plenty of acidity. Danielle Callegari, 9/1/2023.
