| Wine maker notes |
| Argenina is one of the oldest hamlets in the territory of Monti in Chianti. Il Palazzino winery owns three hectares of vineyards, all recently renewed. This terrain is 310meters above sea level, fanning out with an exposure ranging from southeast to southwest. The grapes are fermented in steel vats at a lower temperature than is used for Pieve and Grosso Sanese so as to preserve the intensity of the primary aromas of the grapes, then the new wine is poured into small oak casks for aging. Production amounts to 25,000 bottles per year in the best vintages while it is increased to 40. 000 in the other occasions when a Riserva is not produced. |

| Podere Il Palazzino, owned by Alessandro and Andrea Sderci, is located in Monti in Chianti, 20 km northeast of Siena, in the southern part of Chianti near Gaiole. The estate is part of a network of farms and of country residences built or restored in the eighteenth century during the land reform enacted by Leopold Hapsburg-Lorraine, Grand Duke of Tuscany. The Sderci family became owners of the estate in the mid nineteenth century. But wine started being produced and sold more recently, at the beginning of the 1970s, when Alessandro and Andrea took over the management and the first vineyards were planted. Il Palazzino is an estate with a traditional style, but with an organic approach to viticulture. Also the wines are traditional with an organic approach. This traditional style is reflected in the flag wine, Chianti Classico Grosso Sanese, which started being made as a “supertuscan”, but that was then produced as a Chianti Classico. “Our job is to make Chianti Classico” Alessandro Sderci tells us. Edoardo, Alessandro’s son, works in the vineyards and Valentina, his daughter, works in the office together with Claudia, the daughter of Andrea. Natural viticulture has been followed for many years and the estate is now certified organic. The 15 hectares of vineyards have been replanted with disease resistant clones, all Sangiovese except for Canaiolo Nero that was planted in a vineyard of Casina Girasole. Apart from Chianti Classico, the estate makes a Vin Santo del Chianti and three IGT/proprietary wines: Rosso del Palazzino (95% Sangiovese, 5% other indigenous red berry varietals), Bertinga (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Petit Verdot) and Stagi (100% Colorino). |
