On the nose the wine features vibrant notes of red cherry, currant, clove, tea, and star anise. With a soft and buoyant mouthfeel and bright red fruit on the palate framed by polished tannins and juicy acidity, our Chianti Station is a perfect food wine.
Pair our 2018 Chianti Station with duck confit in a cherry gastrique or a warm and cozy dish of pappardelle with Bolognese or mushroom ragu.
This small vineyard, only an acre and a half, was planted in 1910, with four Sangiovese heirloom clones that have otherwise gone extinct and are not found anywhere else in the world. Luckily, the Seghesio family saved them from obscurity and have subsequently used these original mother clones to propogate additional plantings. This tiny original vineyard also features a smattering of traditional Tuscan field blend varieties – Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia and Trebbiano.
