Description

The wine

Mansalto was first recorded in 1310 and lies near Siena, just outside the eastern edge of Chianti Classico. The 2,000-hectare property is mostly protected forest and wildlife habitat, with about 45 hectares of vines at 400 to 600 metres on sandy, rocky soils. Yields are around half the Chianti limit, and the estate has farmed organically since 2023. La Commenda is aged in concrete for nine months with no oak.

Tasting notes

Red and dark fruits, spice and earth, with hints of black olive. Medium-bodied and soft, with round tannins and a juicy finish. Easy to drink now.

How to enjoy

Serve at 15–16°C. Try it with Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 36 months, Taleggio DOP or Perello Gordal olives.

About the winemaker

Mansalto as a property was first established in 1310. The name itself is one of the ancient plots on the property. Situated near Siena just 5 kms outside of the Classico DOCG on the eastern border.
The property itself is 2000 hectares with approximately 45 under vine. This was started 50 years ago with the previous owner who began to collect parcels of land in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Purchased by the current owner in 2012. It’s in the heart of a ‘natural’ reserve, lots of animals, a very secluded area from other estates and viticulture due to the sheer size of the property across the hills. Any forested areas are protected by law.

100% Estate grown and managed by Mansalto. 6 vineyards in total ranging from 400 to 600 metres altitude.

The vineyards are in two main groups by age. 2/3rds are newer plots, 25 hectares planted in 2013 and 2015. The last third are older plots, now 15 to 25 years old – located on the peak, SW and SE exposition. Due to topography the picking is spread out by 3 to 4 weeks. Sandy and rocky soils – challenging to work but give excellent structure to the wines.

Average yields of Mansalto sit around 5 tonnes per hectare vs the Chianti DOCG of approximately 9 tonnes per hectare.

The estate started farming following organic principles in 2023, with official certification coming in 2026
