Cantina Sociale Colline del Chianti e Geggiano s.c.a.

Cantina Sociale Colline del Chianti e Geggiano gathers the vineyards of its members within the 67 municipalities over which the vast Chianti DOCG extends. It embodies the cooperative model in its most concrete function: providing small growers with the scale and structure to vinify Sangiovese-based reds in compliance with rigorous regulations, which, among other things, set a minimum alcohol content of 11.5% and precise varietal protocols. By uniting diverse contributions under a single enological direction, the winery transforms Tuscan viticultural knowledge, often dispersed across tiny plots, into coherent bottles. The production scope remains anchored to a single denomination, that which identifies the Chianti hills and the Geggiano area, without expansion. The result is a Sangiovese that reflects the specific terroir of this part of Tuscany rather than a generic interpretation of the grape: a collective expression rather than an individual signature, where cellar selection compensates for property fragmentation and maintains a consistent profile for the appellation.
