Description
The 13th Century Ormanni estate is located in the heart of Chianti, between the towns of Poggibonsi and Castellinai. For the last 200 years, the estate has been owned by the Brini Batacchi family who has been producing true expressions of what the region has to offer.
Paolo Brini Batacchi together with his daughter Paola run the winery today to this day. The Ormanni property spreads across 242 ha of land, 68 of which are vineyards largely dedicated to the cultivation of Sangiovese. They also own two beautiful agriturismo resorts, Podere La Querce and Podere Montignano.
Ormanni produces their Chianti from their Poggibonsi vineyards; located outside the borders of the historic Chianti region. A wine that is versatile and built to enjoy in its youth; but holds the structure to enjoy with a some age.

Taste
A bright and savoury expression of Sangiovese (95%) and Merlot (5%); the wine is filled with tart and ripe red cherries, red currants and gooseberries. There are notes of black tea, snap twig, leather and cured meat to perfectly complement the fruit. The wine is dry, medium bodied, with nicely integrated tannins and refreshing acidity.
