Erta di Radda ERTA DI RADDA Bianco di Toscana 2022

Description

Erta di Radda is a small Chianti Classico company that is gradually establishing itself more and more in perhaps the most suitable sub-area of ​​the denomination: Radda in Chianti. Diego Finocchi takes care of the company and personally takes care of all the activities, from the pruning of the vineyard to the marketing of the wine. The name of the wine is linked to the slope of the vineyards located just outside the village. In this case Erta stands for ascent. Diego has always been passionate about wine and agriculture and at the age of 24 he decided to make it his job.

He takes the opportunity to buy about 5 of old vines from a farmer in the area and with a bit of healthy recklessness he sets out to pursue his dream. The vineyards planted in 1967 were, over time, partly renewed, 1 hectare in 2006 and one hectare in 2009. The first years were not easy and apart from a little wine left for family and friends, the whole production was for sale. Until 2009 when Diego decides to take the plunge and bottle his first Chianti Classico. Erta di Radda is born. Respect for nature, biodiversity and the Chianti tradition led Diego to choose Organic as the vineyard management system and Sangiovese as the main actor for his wines.
