6 x Tenuta San Jacopo Poggio ai Grilli Chianti Red Wine 75cl
13.5% ABV - Vegan Red Wine Case
Brand: Tenuta San Jacopo
This characterful, lively Chianti from the powerful
2018 vintage is a Gold Medal winner which has been rated one of the
best value for money wine by the UK Sommelier Association. Chianti
is probably one of the most famous and underrated Italian wine
because a good Chianti seems to be difficult to find, and too many
wine drinkers associate Chianti to the cheap red wine on flask that
filled supermarket's shelves and restaurant tables in the 80's or
the cheap, tasteless, almost watery, Chianti available nowadays
from supermarkets. Luckily, good Chianti wines exist and can offer
outstanding value for money. Made from organically grown, manually
harvested sangiovese grapes cultivated in the province of Arezzo,
this wine belongs to the Chianti Colli Aretini DOCG denomination,
one of the 7 Chianti DOCG's appellations. Due to the vintage, it
has significantly more fullness and spice than its predecessor, and
relies on intensity. Made with grapes from old vineyards and then
aged in big oak barrels, this Chianti is a great red wine with a
complex bouquet with hints of cherry, violet and spices. Full,
fruity, smooth, with soft tannins and a long aftertaste. Our
Chianti tastes delicious with pasta, pizza and most meat dishes.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Style: Red Grape: Sangiovese

Region: Tuscany About the Producer Tenuta San Jacopo is situated in
Tuscany, between the classic Chianti area and the Valdarno covering
130 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods. Back in 2002,
three brothers from Milan, Vanni, Carlo and Marco Cattaneo bought
this estate with the aim of restoring it back to its former glory.
Their aim was to produce great wines, elegant and refined,
respecting the special terroir of the vineyards as well as running
a succesful agriturismo. Certified Organic methods are used to take
care of the land, the vines, and the grapes. These are then
hand-harvested in small baskets, then sorted again at the winery
and destalked before going into stainless or wood fermentation
tanks (depending on the cuvee). The end results are lovely, earthy
old-school renditions of Chianti. Note: You will be sent the
