PRACTICING ORGANIC
Those looking for traditional Chianti at an affordable price need look no further. Wine Spectator has again designated the Fattoria Rodano Chianti Classico as a "Smart Buy" for the third year in a row. This is a testament to their ability to make high quality wine at a reasonable price. We agree, this wine has new world purity and old world soul with the fantastic Tuscan flavors we love! Showing ripe, pure fruit with the complex secondary aromas we love to see in Sangiovese-based wines from Tuscany.
Rodano is located in the heart of Chianti Classico in the famed region of Castellina with the original farm dating back to the Middle Ages. Rodano's pristine, organic vineyards are in the perfect location to create classic, soulful Chianti Classico. The estate has been in the Pozzesi family since the 1950's with Vittorio Pozzesi managing the winery. The Pozzesi's believe in the native Italian varietal and as Vittorio says, "The whole world can make Cabernet or Merlot, but only we can make Sangiovese. Why change it?"
Medium ruby in color. This wine has aromas of dried cherry, rose and fresh berry aromas. On the palate, this wine is dry and medium-bodied with silky tannins which frame the cherry, wild strawberries, earth and spices. Notes of cinnamon and forest floor add complexity to this Chianti Classico. The fruit is well-balanced and brightened by great acidity leading to a lengthy finish.
