80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot
6 months in the traditional Tuscan big barrels made of chestnut wood
The union for the Italian words “spiga” (sheaf of wheat) and “gallo” (rooster)
-
Description
It is a fresh, new and fruity wine. It is characterized by an intense ruby-red colour with purple hints and by a perfume of bouquet of red roses and berries fruit (such as black currant and blueberry). The taste is rich, with an important tannic structure although featured by lively and sweet tannin.
We started to call our Chianti, Spigallo, in 2011, when we changed our farm’s image and we decided to adopt a cock pecking a sheaf of wheat as our logo. We took this decision because we found this picture in our villa since in the past it was used as the family crest. The name Spigallo is a pun because it’s the union for the Italian words “spiga” (sheaf of wheat) and “gallo” (rooster) which are both in our logo.
