Structured and concentrated wine, it shows scents of little red berries and flowers as typical of Sangiovese, yet with lively acidity. Vinified by using grapes from the best areas of Chianti, the fruits comes primarily from the Rufina region.

The sisters, Anne and Emmanuelle, the current generation to oversee Château Pineraie, work together to carry on a wonderful family history, always with a strong will to fulfill their commitment to an ever improving quality. We believe that the diversity of our vineyard's soils is one of the most significant assets of our wines.
