      "La Ginestra" Chianti DOCG 2022
    • If you close your eyes, you think of Tuscany. And you think of one of the good reds of the local tradition. Often made with Sangiovese. So... the next time we're there, we can imagine this Chianti DOCG La Ginestra offered by Tenute Stefano Farina. Sinuous hills, medieval villages, rows of cypress trees and, of course, vineyards as far as the eye can see. Chianti DOCG La Ginestra encompasses all this. It originates in the territory of Arezzo, one of the most fascinating provinces in Tuscany. This area, nestled between Florence, Siena and Perugia, is a treasure trove of artistic and natural beauty. The vineyards of Tenute Stefano Farina are located at about 650 metres above sea level, an altitude that gives the grapes a particular freshness and aromaticity. The soils, of medium fertility, are rich in calcium and organic matter, and very permeable. La Ginestra is mainly produced with Sangiovese (90%), the main grape variety of Tuscany, which gives the wine structure, acidity and aromas of red fruit and spices. Then there is a small percentage of Canaiolo (10%) to complete the blend, which brings softness and floral notes. The harvest takes place in the second half of September, when the grapes have reached perfect ripeness. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in temperature-controlled cement tanks, with prolonged maceration to extract the best colour and aromas from the skins. After decanting, the wine ages in large oak barrels for 6/8 months, acquiring complexity and roundness. A further refinement in the bottle of at least 3 months precedes commercialisation. A brilliant ruby colour tending to garnet with ageing, the nose perceives intense and fragrant aromas of violet and iris, typical of Sangiovese, accompanied by notes of red fruit and spices. In the mouth it is harmonious and dry, with good acidity and present but well integrated tannins. With time, the wine softens and becomes velvety, developing a greater aromatic complexity. Designed to be drunk young, La Ginestra is a very versatile Chianti. It goes well with a wide variety of Tuscan and Italian dishes. Ideal with antipasti based on cured meats and cheeses, pasta dishes with meat sauces, red and white meat main courses, and medium-aged cheeses.

      The history of Tenute Stefano Farina has its roots in the 1930s, when Stefano Farina and his wife Giovanna ran a trattoria where, in addition to serving food, they also served wine. It was in this context that Stefano developed a growing interest in winemaking, and in 1939 he decided to start his own winery, despite the difficulties associated with the war period. In 1941, the family moved to Erba, in Lombardy, and it was here that Stefano passed on his passion for wine to his children, particularly to Giancarlo. After studying oenology in Alba, Giancarlo understood the importance of producing quality wine directly from one's own vineyards. Today the Stefano Farina Estates boast five properties located in some of the most renowned wine-growing regions in Italy: Piedmont, Tuscany and Puglia. The first acquisition dates back to the mid-seventies with ‘La Traversa’ in La Morra, in the heart of the Langhe region of Piedmont. Subsequently, the company expanded into the Chianti Classico, Alba, Casentino and finally Salento areas of Puglia, a region particularly dear to the family due to the historical ties with the founder's wine business. The company's philosophy aims to enhance the value of native vines through modern wine-making practices, to obtain wines that reflect the essence of their territory.
