The wine
Deep, intense ruby red. Pronounced ripe plums and wild berries with layers behind.
Chianti Classico is the historic heartland between Florence and Siena, and its wines must be Sangiovese-based: anything else, whatever its quality, is bottled as IGT Toscana. Altitude is what keeps the acidity here, the estate sites running up to 420 metres. Dievole farm over 150 hectares between 270 and 420 metres in Chianti Classico, with Petrignano among their named estate vineyards.
The producer
Dievole
View all Dievole winesDievole is a historic estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, its roots reaching back over a thousand years to the hills near Siena. One of Tuscany's grandest and oldest properties, it combines deep heritage with a modern, organic outlook. Its name is woven into the story of the region.
Sangiovese is the soul of Dievole, grown on the galestro and clay soils of the Chianti Classico hills at altitude. The estate farms organically across a patchwork of distinct parcels, from young vines to prized single crus. A little Trebbiano rounds out the range with a fresh white.
In the cellar, the approach balances tradition with precision, ageing the reds in oak to build structure while preserving Sangiovese's bright, savoury fruit. The wines range from a joyful Chianti Classico to a profound Gran Selezione. Purity and place guide every decision.
From a fresh Trebbiano to the single-vineyard Vigna di Sessina, Dievole offers Chianti Classico at its most authentic. Elegant, savoury and food-friendly, these are wines that speak of Tuscany's storied hills.
