The 2019 vintage of Chianti Classico was well received. The Chianti Classico from the 2019 vintage is considered a very good vintage, with wines characterised by fresh fruit, lively acidity and soft tannins. The weather conditions during the harvest favoured uniform ripening of the grapes, leading to balanced, well-structured wines. The wines of this vintage are appreciated for their elegance and finesse, with a good capacity for ageing. The composition of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes in the Basilica San Martino contributes to the wine's unique and international character. This blend, combined with the organic cultivation methods employed in the vineyard, results in a distinct expression of terroir and grape varieties. In conclusion, Basilica San Martino is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione wine that has gained international recognition since its inaugural vintage in 1985. The vineyard follows the principles of organic cultivation and produces wine from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes. The exceptional weather conditions of the 2018 vintage in the Chianti region contributed to the high-quality grapes used in the production of this wine.
