Vigna del Sorbo is a Gran Selezione Chianti Classico made from 100% Sangiovese, coming from the eponymous old vineyard with a south-west exposure and vines older than 55 years, resulting in concentrated, characterful grapes.

Vinification is carried out by spontaneous fermentation on indigenous yeasts with a maceration of more than three weeks in stainless-steel tanks to fully develop color, aromas and structure. After fermentation the wine spends 24 months aging in barriques and large French oak casks, which provides depth, finesse and well-integrated oak tones.

In the glass Vigna del Sorbo shows classic Sangiovese traits: concentrated red and black fruit, refined spice accents and a muscular yet elegant tannic structure that delivers length and ageing potential.

Serve at 18–20 °C in a large tulip-shaped glass; superb with grilled red meat, game, richer pasta dishes and aged cheeses.
