Dievole DIEVOLE Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2018

Description

The Dievole Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a hymn to peasant tradition. Produced with Trebbiano and Malvasia. After drying on the vine, it is aged for at least three years in small barrels.

Dievole is a corner of Tuscany between Siena and Florence in the center of the Chianti Classico area which has always been known to be a small paradise.

Here the dialogue between nature and man has never been interrupted and the name can explain the reason: in fact, the origin of the name “Dievole” is “God wills”.

The name of Dievole officially appears for the first time in the 11th century and precisely on May 10, 1090. During that time the Icelander Leif Erikson discovers North America, the Chinese discover gunpowder, the first university in the world was founded in Bologna, Rome is invaded by the Normans and Pope Urban II conquers Jerusalem. On that day, as stated in the contract drawn up by the notary Bellundo, two capons, three breed loaves and six Lucchese denarii of good silver were paid for the annual contract for a vineyard in a divine valley, which was Dievole.

In 2012 Dievole began a harmonious and gradual renewal with the aim of enhancing the deepest identity of this area. Yesterday’s dreams become tomorrow’s goals, old certainties are confronted with new ideas. It is an evolution, based on respect, which started from listening to the earth and which has only one advantage: quality. Quality at Dievole begins above all with excellent agricultural resources such as a land particularly suited to viticulture, man’s experience and constant effort for innovation.

These are the tools with which the Dievole team looks to the future with the intention of protecting the atmosphere of this magical place and making it known to the world. There are three expressions of Dievole: its vineyards that draw waves on the hills and that give life to fresh and intense Sangiovese-based wines, the olive trees that dot the landscape with their timeless charm and the warm welcome of the historic Villa – Villa Dievole – an elegant country resort where you can experience unforgettable moments.
