Az. Agr. Le Fornaci di Rossi Manuela, Paola e Laura Soc. Sempl. Soc. Agricola

In San Gimignano, amidst the Sienese hills, Le Fornaci is a family-run farm where Manuela, Paola, and Laura carry on agricultural work through a single denomination, Chianti DOCG. The choice is one of concentration rather than breadth: Sangiovese remains the flagship grape variety, complemented by other varieties permitted for cultivation in Tuscany, producing dry reds that meet the minimum 11.5% alcohol content stipulated by the production specifications. The Chianti area in which they operate is vast—sixty-seven municipalities—but the farm's method focuses on local precision: knowledge of their own land translated into disciplined winemaking, without manipulation. It's a production profile that foregoes a variety of labels to deeply work on a single wine, seeking vintage-to-vintage consistency. The premises are not open to visitors, and the story is entrusted to the bottles: an understated interpretation of Sangiovese from this corner of Siena, where the family touch and the rigor of the denomination matter more than any expansion of the range.
