The Story of Geografico
Established in 1961 by a dedicated group of winegrowers in Gaiole in Chianti, Geografico has been a beacon of quality and tradition in the Tuscan wine landscape. Despite mid-2010s financial challenges, the cooperative was revitalized under the Piccini family in 2019, merging modern innovation with traditional values.
A Tradition of Excellence
Geografico operates as a cooperative, supporting local viticulture by sourcing grapes from member growers. Their winemaker, Alessandro Barabesi, a respected figure in the wine world, ensures excellence, blending over 20 years of experience into each bottle. The state-of-the-art facilities enhance traditional methods, combining precision with innovation in the winemaking process.
A Reflection of Radda in Chianti
The Contessa di Radda Chianti Classico originates from Radda in Chianti, a region celebrated for its cool, high-altitude vineyards and minerally rich soils that enhance the wine’s elegance. The Sangiovese grape, dominating the blend, offers vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and captivating aromatics.
Winemaking Mastery
In crafting this Chianti Classico, traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves fruit purity, followed by maceration for color and tannin extraction. Aged in large oak casks, the wine develops subtle spice nuances, balancing its fruit-forward palette.
Tasting Profile
A beautiful expression of Chianti Classico, this wine offers a medium to full body with a strikingly intense ruby hue. It reveals a bouquet of ripe cherries, red plums, and subtle earthy tones, with hints of Mediterranean herbs and spices. On the palate, expect a harmonious balance of fruit, firm tannins, and refreshing acidity, culminating in a persistent, flavorful finish.
Perfect Pairings
Ideal for pairing with classic Tuscan dishes, this wine complements meats like Florentine steak and roast lamb, as well as tomato-based pasta, enhancing every meal with its well-integrated structure.
Aging Potential
The Geografico Contessa di Radda Chianti Classico is ready to be savored upon release yet promises complexity with careful cellaring for up to a decade, especially for its Riserva version.
With a strategic focus on sustainable practices and community involvement, Geografico not only produces wines of distinction but also contributes to the region’s cultural and economic vitality, a true testament to its legacy and future.
