## About this wine

Dellatorri takes its name from an ancestral Italian cliffside estate known as 'the House of Torri'. Located in Tuscany, central Italy, the estate crafts accessible, food-friendly wines rooted in classic Italian tradition. Dellatorri Chianti is produced under the Chianti DOCG designation, adhering to regional standards that showcase central Tuscan viticulture designed for everyday dining and family gatherings.

## Interesting facts

- Dellatorri derives its brand name from 'the House of Torri', inspired by an ancestral cliffside estate in Italy.
- Chianti DOCG regulations require a minimum of 70% to 80% Sangiovese grapes in the blend.

## Food pairing

Sangiovese's naturally elevated acidity cuts seamlessly through rich, savory tomato sauces and marbled meats, balancing fat while enhancing herbal complexity.

## Wine making process

Harvested from established vineyard parcels across the Chianti DOCG region, grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Winemakers conduct delicate skin maceration to achieve soft extraction before completing aging in stainless steel tanks with subtle oak contact prior to bottling.
