Fattoria Il Palagio
Chianti Classico
Fattoria Il Palagio wines are the fruit of experience and total devotion to the land and the vine. If you were to pick up a handful of soil from the vineyards you would find the classic Tuscan dusty, rich earth as well as seashells telling of the ancient history their vineyards hold. Il Palagio cultivates classic varietals like Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Vernaccia, as well as international varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Their wines are a stunning value, each offering up balanced fruit, thoughtful and talented winemaking, and sumptuous, classic Tuscan flavors on the palate.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red color with elegant scents of vanilla and toffee complimenting black cherries and earth.
Cultivation
The soil is moved between rows for seeding of leguminous plants and grass essences through green manure. In this manner the chemical and physical characteristics of the soil are improved. Manual pruning and selection of gems to define the productive load are made during winter and spring.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand and then vinified with great care, using the traditional method of fermentation in the presence of the skins so as to highlight the strong personality of this wine. Malolactic fermentation.
Aging
The wines are aged in French and Slavonian barriques for 10 months.
