Biodynamically-farmed Sangiovese from Michael Schmelzer at Monte Bernardi — one of Panzano’s benchmark artisans — 'Sangió' channels the zone’s sandy, limestone-rich soils into a bright, finely etched Chianti Classico. Spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in concrete and used tonneaux, it opens with cherry, fresh plum, blood orange, almond skin, pink blossoms, and a gentle brushwood lift. The palate mirrors the nose: slender red-fruit clarity (red currant, cherry), a thread of citrus blossom, and a lightly earthy undertone. Medium-bodied with dusty, just-ripe tannins and sprightly acidity, it finishes long, floral, and wonderfully precise. A pitch-perfect introduction to Monte Bernardi’s elegant, mineral take on Sangiovese.
