Chianti DOCG Idèo Red Wine: History, Origin and Aging
Idèo is a Chianti DOCG Red Wine which comes from the hills of Win, near Florence, in the cellar of Fattoria Dianella 1. It is the typical red of the Tuscan territory in its most prestigious version, the fruit of the commitment and dedication of the company. In this land kissed by the sun and caressed by night breezes, the grapes ripen in an ideal microclimate that gives the wine a velvety softness, fruity aromas and an authentic personality.
Idèo is obtained from a blend of grapes Sangiovese, predominantly, and Merlot, harvested manually. The bunches, once destemmed and pressed, are fermented separately, in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for about 15 days. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place in cement tanks. The wine ages for ten months: seven in stainless steel, three in French oak barriques and two in the bottle.
Idèo is produced on the hills of Win, a municipality in the province of Florence, famous for being the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci. The microclimate of this area, characterized by temperature variations between day and night, favors the optimal ripening of the grapes, giving Idèo a balanced structure and a complex aromatic profile.

On the nose, it releases a rich bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as morello cherry and plum, with notes of Mediterranean herbs and delicate spicy nuances of vanilla and cinnamon.
