Like all Chiantis, this makes for a great food wines. Try with pasta and a Tuscan Salsa Verde, rigatoni with basil and cherry tomatoes or Braciole di Maiale (sautéed pork chops with rosemary.)

About Azienda Agricola Wines

San Ferdinando’s estate is spread over 60 hectares in the heart of Tuscany in the area of Val di Chiana noted for its oil and wine production. The Grifoni family, inspired by the passion and by the respect for this land, purchased the farm in 1998. Their vineyards, at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level, occupy a total area of nine hectares and are planted with local Ciliegiolo, Sangiovese, Pugnitello and Vermentino. Everything is done according to organic principles and the most of the vineyard activities are rigorously carried out by hand, all supervised by Simone Grifoni.

Weedkillers and insecticides are completely banned with plants sown in the vineyard rows and only green manures are used. Podere Gamba is the vineyard name, lying on stony, clay soils and the blend is 85% Sangiovese and 15% Pugnitello. The two grapes are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks before being transferred into Allier oak barrels for eight months before bottling.

Principal Wines

We are wine lovers with no agenda, except to work with people who grow grapes, and to put their wines into the hands of people we respect.

We bring many years’ collective experience working in restaurants and winemaking to Principal Wine and think we have a pretty good idea of how a great glass of wine tastes.

Things change all the time in the world of wine, but our core values always remain the same - to work with people who make their wine in the vineyard, to have fine wine to sell to places we’d like to drink ourselves, and to provide excellent service.
