Chianti Classico Panzanello is a fresh wine, with a well-balanced body and an elegant character, which embodies the aromas of Sangiovese that recall the charm of the Tuscan land.
To preserve the aromas, fragrances and structure that enhance its intrinsic qualities, Chianti Classico is not filtered.
Panzanello Chianti Classico is produced with 100% Sangiovese, selected from the best vineyards of the estate. The terroir of Panzanello enhances the typicality of the grape variety, giving an authentic and expressive wine, characterized by freshness, balance and an elegance typical of Chianti Classico DOCG.
The grapes macerate for 15 days in stainless steel vats, favoring the extraction of color, tannins and aromas without superstructures. This process allows to obtain a fresh and dynamic Chianti Classico, with soft tannins and great drinkability.
After fermentation, 100% is aged in steel for a minimum of 8 months, to preserve the vivacity of the fruit, which gives the wine greater depth without overpowering the varietal characteristics. This is followed by a further 4-6 months of refinement in the bottle.
The color is bright ruby red, clear and luminous. The bouquet opens with ripe cherry, violet and light notes of aromatic herbs, accompanied by a delicate spicy touch. The sip is balanced and smooth, with good freshness and fine tannins that give a pleasant structure.
With around 13.5% alcohol, this Chianti Classico has a medium body and extraordinary drinkability. The natural acidity of Sangiovese gives freshness and energy, making it a versatile wine capable of evolving for several years without losing its harmony.
It is recommended to serve at 16-18°C, uncorking the bottle 30 minutes before tasting. A tulip glass allows to concentrate the aromas and enhance the aromatic finesse of the wine, enhancing its freshness and fruity component.
Perfect with Tuscan first courses, white meats and fresh cheeses, it pairs well with pasta with ragù, pici all'aglione and platters of cured meats and pecorino. Its acidity also makes it excellent with roast chicken and grilled vegetables, offering an ideal balance between flavor and softness.

Since the transformation began in 1964, every sip is a tribute to our tradition passed down from generation to generation over the centuries. Andrea Sommarruga guides you with emotion in this authentic story.

The vinification of Chianti Classico Panzanello involves a 15-day maceration in stainless steel vats, followed by aging in steel for at least 8 months and a further 4-6 months in the bottle. This method differs from that used for 1427 Chianti Classico , which ages in used tonneaux, or from 1427 Chianti Classico Riserva , which rests 18 months in barriques. The aging exclusively in steel allows us to preserve the freshness and vivacity of the fruit, enhancing the varietal characteristics of Sangiovese. All production phases follow our organic specifications , respecting the unique terroir of the Panzano hills, characterized by galestro and alberese soils that give distinctive minerality to our wines.

To experience these pairings directly at the source, we invite you to book our Gran Tagliere con Degustazione or to participate in the Complete Lunch at Panzanello , where you can taste our Chianti with authentic Tuscan specialties prepared with local ingredients.
Chianti Classico Panzanello fully expresses the terroir of the Panzano hills, located at an ideal altitude for growing Sangiovese. The galestro and alberese soils, typical of the area, give the wine a distinctive minerality and characteristic freshness. Our estate, which dates back to 1427, has developed a deep bond with this territory over time. Since 1964, the Sommaruga family has continued and improved the ancient winemaking techniques, introducing organic certification in 1998. Today, Andrea Sommaruga applies this traditional knowledge with a modern approach to obtain an authentic and territorial Chianti Classico. To deepen this bond with history and territory, we recommend booking a guided Tour and Tasting or visiting our farmhouse immersed in the Chianti hills .
Chianti Classico Panzanello should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C, ideally in a tulip-shaped glass that concentrates its aromas. We recommend uncorking the bottle about 30 minutes before tasting to allow the wine to oxygenate slightly. This Chianti is designed to be appreciated in its youth, when it best expresses the freshness of the fruit, but it can evolve positively for 3-4 years after bottling. To store it, keep it in a horizontal position in a cool (12-16°C), dark and vibration-free environment. If you are interested in exploring other expressions of Sangiovese from our estate, we also suggest trying our Error 404 Rosato or our Goccia bubbles , produced with the Martinotti method from the same grape variety.
In Panzanello, every step respects nature and enhances the territory.
Organic farming is our choice to preserve the balance of the land and offer wines that tell the story of Chianti.
A commitment that looks to the future, without forgetting its roots.
