The Fantini Farnese Sangiovese Terre di Chieti is an Italian red wine renowned for its bright red fruit and herbal aroma. It is composed of a carefully balanced blend of vibrant strawberry and morello cherry flavours, with subtle nuances of vanilla from oak aging. Its medium-bodied structure is complemented by firm tannins, crisp acidity, and a long finish. Enjoy it as an ideal accompaniment to Italian cuisine.

Vineyard and Winery

Grapes for the Sangiovese 'Terre di Chieti' are grown in the communes of Ortona and San Salvo on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo. Located between 100 - 150 metres above sea level, the vines are planted on South-East facing slopes on clay-limestone soil and trained using a pergola training system.

The grapes were delicately destemmed and crushed before undergoing an initial cold maceration for two days. Maceration and fermentation followed at 20-22°C for 10 days. Between 10 and 20% of the wine was aged in oak with the remaining aged in stainless steel.
