CLANTE IGP
100% Sangiovese. 20 to 24 months oak ageing. Up to 12 months bottle ageing prior to release. 1900 bottles made.
Clante is the name the Etruscans gave to the hills we now call Chianti Classico.
Clante is the peak of production at Borghettto, whose vineyards lie within the boundaries of the modern-day Chianti Classico area of production. Clante is a barrel selection of a barrel selection of the finest of Borghetto's Sangiovese and represents the best our vineyards have to offer.
BILACCIO IGP
100% Sangiovese. 16 to 20 months oak ageing. At least 6 months bottle ageing prior to release. Around 7000 bottles made.
Once our Sangiovese has aged for at least 14months, a first selection is made of wine made exclusively from grapes grown here, at Borghetto. The Sangiovese selected eventually becomes Bilaccio and arrives from all four corners of the estate, some vineyards contributing more than others, but all coming together to produce a wine that truly reflects Borghetto's vineyards, winemaking and people.
ROSIE IGP
40% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% Merlot; 20% Sangiovese. 20 to 24 months ageing in oak. Up to 12 months bottle ageing prior to release. 1400 bottles made.
Although our main focus at Borghetto is on Sangiovese, we are lucky to have some small vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Rosie is a riserve wine, similar in idea to Clante, created from our very best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and a single, Clante-selected barrel of Sangiovese. A very Tuscan expression of these most French of grapes varieties.
MONTE DE SASSI CHIANTI CLASSICO
80% Sangiovese; 20% Blend of other varieties. Around 18 months ageing in oak. At least 6 months bottle age prior to release. Around 3500 bottles made.
It would be difficult to grow grapes in Chianti Classico and not make a DOCG wine.
To that end, we keep with tradition and make a barrel-aged Chianti Classico from the mandatory minimum of 80% Sangiovese, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cannaiolo grown here at Borghetto.
COLLINA 21 IGP
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Upto 18 months ageing in oak. At least 6 months bottle age prior to release. Around 7000 bottles made.
The percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese making up the blend in Collina change slightly from year-to-year to enable us to make a soft, perfumed and easy-drinking wine.
MONTIGIANO IGP
100% Sangiovese. 12 months ageing in cement vats and oak. 3 months bottle ageing prior to release. Around 13.000 bottles made.
Montigiano is a new departure for Borghetto. Our first wine made from non-estate grapes. We are working closely with the neighbouring growers who supply us, to ensure that the grapes that go into making Montigiano are of the quality expected at Borghetto.
Montigiano is a fresh, youthful expression of pure Sangiovese.
