Isola delle Falcole

The cellar was created to express a small part of one of the most suitable territories in the world for the production of high quality wine. The feat of Emanuele, Alessandro and Niccolò is to bring viticulture to the fore as a way to elevate the small portion of land, emphasizing the importance of agriculture above all to produce a great wine.
Isola delle Falcole is located between Panzano and Montefioralle in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, an area with one of the greatest inclinations in the world for the production of quality wine. The company’s vineyards, comprising a total of 4.5 hectares, are located at altitudes between 400 and 520 meters above sea level, and the surrounding hills create an almost magical area, fostering an excellent microclimate for viticulture. The characteristics of the vineyard are unique: from the altitude, which contributes to the acidity, finesse and freshness of the grapes, to the exposure of the vineyards which varies from south to south-east, giving the energy of the sun’s rays complete freedom enter between the rows, and is therefore ideal for bringing a variety such as Sangiovese to an exemplary maturation, maturity and sweetness of the fruit; and the galestro soil which reinforces the typicality of the final product. The charm of the surrounding environment makes it the ideal place from which to base a company oriented towards quality viticulture that expresses the true protagonist of wine: the vineyard.
In the cellar, the completely natural fermentation combined with aging in large barrels for the Sangiovese and in small barriques for the Merlot enhance the distinctiveness of the raw materials. The sulphites are around 20/25 g/ml and the light filtration (11/12 micron) does not alter the characteristics of the wines at all.
