Scarpeto di Sotto Farm - Daniele Tinti

Tinti Chianti is a family-run business based in the hills of Certaldo (Tuscany). The company cultivates 7 hectares of vineyards and 1 hectare of olive groves, adopting an agricultural and production approach focused on naturalness and transparency.

Vineyard and agronomic management

• Area: 7 ha vineyard + 1 ha olive grove
• Training system: Guyot
• Red grape varieties (about 80%): Sangiovese, Cabernet
• White grape varieties: Trebbiano, Malvasia, San Colombano, Viognier
• Certified organic since 2010 (ICEA)
• No chemicals are used in fertilization: only organic fertilizers are used.

Cellar: fermentations, interventions and sulfur dioxide

• In the cellar the approach is essential and non-interventionist:
• Spontaneous fermentations, without the use of selected yeasts
• No clarification
• Filtration only when needed, with filter media up to 5 microns
• Total SO₂ in bottle < 40 mg/L
• Only additive used: SO₂, 2 g/hl added before bottling.

Refinements

• Aged in cement and wood
• Use of French oak barriques in 4th–5th passage (not new wood, for a more delicate impact).
