Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Panzanello Chianti Classico special compared to other Tuscan wines?
Panzanello Chianti Classico is distinguished by the use of vines sourced exclusively from the estate's vineyards, where the unique terroir of galestro and alberese gives the wines unmistakable minerality and structure. Since 1998, the company has adopted organic farming methods, avoiding pesticides and chemical fertilizers, resulting in wines that authentically express the character of the territory. The production includes three main labels: Panzanello Chianti Classico , 1427 Chianti Classico and 1427 Chianti Classico Riserva , each with a unique aromatic profile but faithful to the identity of the Sangiovese grown in the hills of Panzano in Chianti.
What is the story behind Panzanello Chianti Classico and why is it called "1427"?
The name "1427" celebrates the year the Panzanello estate was founded, placing the company's roots in a centuries-old winemaking tradition. In 1436, Franciesco Ciucci D'Ugolino introduced innovative grape selection techniques that still inspire winemaking methods today. Since 1964, the Sommaruga family has taken over the management of the estate, with Andrea who, since 1994, has begun a process of renewal while maintaining respect for the Chianti Classico tradition. Andrea's first bottling dates back to 1995 with just 900 bottles, while today production exceeds 50,000 bottles per year, including the prestigious Chianti Classico line that represents the historical essence of the company.
How do you properly taste a Chianti Classico and what are the ideal serving temperatures?
To best taste a Chianti Classico , you need a tulip-shaped glass that concentrates the characteristic aromas of cherry, violet and undergrowth. The ideal temperature varies according to the type: for the Panzanello Chianti Classico we recommend 16-18°C, uncorking the bottle 30 minutes before to reveal freshness and fruity notes. For the more structured 1427 Chianti Classico Riserva , the optimal temperature is 18°C with an hour of oxygenation or decanting to soften the tannins. You can learn more about these techniques during guided tastings directly in the cellar, where the staff will guide you through the visual, olfactory and gustatory analysis of the wines.
What are the best food pairings for the different types of Chianti Classico di Panzanello?
Panzanello's various Chianti Classico wines offer versatile pairings with Tuscan and Italian cuisine. The fresh, medium-bodied Panzanello Chianti Classico pairs perfectly with pasta with ragù, pici all'aglione, and Tuscan cured meats. The more structured 1427 Chianti Classico pairs well with white meats and fresh cheeses such as young Tuscan pecorino. For the more complex and powerful 1427 Chianti Classico Riserva , ideal pairings include Florentine steak, braised meats, and game. During tastings in the cellar , you can experiment with pairings with local products and discover how the wines' acidity and tannins interact with different flavors.
