Clante is the name the Etruscans gave to the hills now called Chianti Classico. This wine is a barrel selection of the finest of Borghetto's Sangiovese & represents the best their vineyards have to offer. Powerful & punchy, with tons of whole cluster character, this wine has a lot to offer. Orange peel, star anise, mint & spice add a distinctive element of exoticism. The Clante lives in its own realm, a world completely apart from the norm in Chianti Classico. More importantly, it is an absolutely compelling wine.
