Introduction

Color deep ruby red, with light burgundy reflections full and intense, with notes of small wild Bouquet Palate berries and pleasing scents of noble wood, vanilla and cocoa dry, well structured, austere and elegant, good harmony between the tannic and acid components and those responsible for softness (alcohol and glycerine); excellent persistence on the palate. Producer Information In 1997, the Borgo Scopeto estate was sold to Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini and Alessandra Angelini, it was their first wine purchase in Tuscany. In 1999, Elisabetta purchased more land in Morellino di Scansano DOCG where she planted vines for Doga delle Clavule; two other estates- Caparzo and Altesino of Montalcino, were both purchased in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Borgo Scopeto covers 503 ha in Castelnuovo Berardenga- 6 ha are dedicated to the buildings of the Borgo and 350 ha are woodlands; 70 ha are vineyards and 50 ha are planted with olive trees. Within their vineyard plantings, 40 ha are Chianti in Classico with plantings of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. The Sozzini family, which kept the property until the mid-nineteenth century (it dates back to around 1000, though), developed the estates wine program to a certain extent but it wasnt until more recently that Borgo Scopeto improved the quality and begin to bottle its own wines. 1990s vintage was the first time Chianti Classico and Borgo Scopeto appeared on the same label.
