The wine

Villa S. Andrea: The Soul of Chianti Classico 2021

Today I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where tradition meets elegance. This Chianti Classico DOCG from Villa S. Andrea is a true gem, a wine that whispers the story of its land with every sip.

The terroir and heritage of Villa S. Andrea

Nestled in the emblematic Chianti Classico region, the Villa S. Andrea estate embodies Tuscan winemaking excellence. Its vineyards, where Sangiovese reigns supreme, benefit from soils rich in galestro and a temperate climate, ideal conditions for optimal grape ripening. It is from this alchemy between earth and sky that this wine is born, an authentic reflection of its appellation.

The 2021 vintage of this Chianti Classico DOCG, made exclusively from Sangiovese, is the result of careful winemaking. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins, which extracts all the aromatic and coloring richness of the grape. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 12 months, a process that refines its tannins and develops its complexity. To the eye, it reveals an intense ruby red color, a promise of a deep tasting. On the nose, you will discover notes of ripe cherry, violet and light spicy hints, a harmonious bouquet that invites discovery. On the palate, it reveals itself as balanced, with soft yet assertive tannins and a lively freshness that gives it beautiful persistence.

At the table with Villa S. Andrea

This Chianti Classico DOCG from Villa S. Andrea is an ideal table companion. I particularly recommend it with grilled red meats, where its tannins will find a perfect echo. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, revealing their flavors with subtlety. And of course, it is the dream partner for traditional Tuscan dishes. Picture yourself seated under the Tuscan sun, savoring this wine that tells you the story of a region, of a craft. It is an invitation to conviviality, to the discovery of Italy's authentic flavors.

⚠️ Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health — consume in moderation. Sale prohibited to minors.

Villa S. Andrea's Sangiovese comes from galestro soils, and this 2021 is aged for at least 12 months: a detail that gives it a true Chianti Classico imprint. If you are looking for a Tuscan red where terroir matters as much as the grape variety, keep it in mind.
