Chianti DOCG 2020 - Ormanni

Ormanni's Chianti is a versatile and immediate wine. The grapes, 95% Sangiovese and 5% Merlot, come from the Poggibonsi vineyards located outside the boundaries of the Chianti Classico production area. The Ormanni estate, which has been owned by the Brini Batacchi family for over two hundred years, was in previous centuries the typical country house and agricultural estate in the Tuscan manner: it produced wine, oil, cereals, firewood and workwood, had livestock farms, a mill, an oil mill and a production of alcohol from the distillation of the fruits of the strawberry tree. It was with the engineer Paolo Brini Batacchi that, at the beginning of the 1960s, the company modernized itself, passing from mixed cultivation to specialized cultivation of vineyards and olive groves, and from sharecropping to direct management. The grapes destined for Chianti ferment and macerate for 8-10 days on the skins; the wine then ages for about 12 months in vitrified cement tanks.
