Ormanni Chianti Classico

An estate on the up, offering (for now!) exceptional value for money. Owned by the team behind Avignonesi, the up-lift in quality over the past 5 years has been remarkable.

The 13th Century Ormanni estate is located right in the heart of Chianti, between the towns of Poggibonsi and Castellina in Chianti. Proof of the incredible heritage of this Tuscan property can be found in Dante Alighieri’s “Divina Commedia”,where the Ormanni family is mentioned. The Ormanni property covers an area of 242 ha of land, 68 of which are vineyards dedicated principally to the cultivation of Sangiovese.The Ormanni Chianti and Chianti Classico are sincere, soil driven wines, expressive of the Barberino Val d’Elsa commune, where Sangiovese takes on a brooding, austere character, though maintaining a generous, fruity core.

A bold and vibrant wine with notes of wild cherry, tobacco and liquorice. Complex, old-school style with a fine interplay between tannin and acidity. Awarded 93 points by Antonio Galloni.
