Toscana

Sangioveto Grosso was Fabrizio Bianchi's first wine, a 100% Sangiovese bottled at a time when the Chianti recipe demanded the inclusion of white grapes. To this day it retains its anti-establishment credentials by being labelled as Toscana IGT, even though in the modern era it qualifies as Chianti Classico. A single-vineyard wine from the steep, south and west-facing Scanni vineyard on galestro and active limestone, it's really intense and spicy, fragrant and earthy, with pure, sapid raspberry, cherry and strawberry swathed in chocolate and creamy wood. Long, fresh and saline, it has a mouthwatering finish full of energy.
