Az. Agr. San Benedetto, Loc. San Benedetto 4/a San Gimignano (SI)
Vin Santo del Chianti DOC. Ancient Tuscan tradition. One of those wines that, when they win the heart, have the power to make us travel with our minds. Up and down the gentle hills of Chianti, where woods and vineyards share equally the space. This, in particular, proposed by Azienda Agricola San Benedetto, was born in the hills of San Gimignano, the Manhattan of the Middle Ages, as it is called. Traditional composition, with Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia del Chianti, to which a percentage of Verdea grapes is added. Vineyards at about 220 metres above sea level, the grapes are harvested by hand towards the end of September. Then begins a long process that first involves slow drying on racks for three months. Then, after concentrating sugars and aromas, they are pressed. The must obtained is left to ferment in small chestnut barrels, where it is then left to mature for at least 4/5 years. Deep golden yellow in colour, the nose is astonishing for its pleasant combination of candied fruit, cinnamon and spice aromas. In the mouth it is pleasantly soft and harmonious, perfect to accompany any good end of meal. Serve with classic cantuccini biscuits.
Visiting the website of the Azienda Agricola San Benedetto, in San Gimignano, one discovers a beautiful reality founded as far back as 1826. At that time, the Giannelli family ran a small farm with vineyards, olive groves and livestock at San Benedetto. This farm, called 'podere Casaccia', was managed under the old sharecropping system until the 1960s, when brothers Dario and Giuseppe, with their respective sons, decided to buy the first piece of land. In 1975, therefore, the first part of the winery was built on this very land, with the name Azienda Agricola Giannelli. The rest is the story of an 'ordinary entrepreneurial success' that led to the acquisition of new vineyards and the construction of a larger winery with modern equipment. This led to 1998, when the company took its current name of Azienda Agricola San Benedetto. New name, same goal as always: to produce quality, territorial wines.
