Riecine's philosophy is to make sure their wines are expressing a sense of place. Their devotion to the health of the vineyard in a very sustainable way is second-to-none. So, when they identified this small 1.5-hectare parcel of Sangiovese as a standout, the rest wrote itself - strict selection in the vineyard, wild yeast fermentation, gentle extraction and ageing only in concrete and bottle. All of this encourages the full expression of the fruit when it hits your glass. Sleek, elegant and very classy with a twist of rustic charm.

Lana Frank
Lana Frank and family proudly maintain the wine philosophy of their predecessor, John Dunkley - an Englishman that developed the reputation locally as one of the best producers of Chianti, thanks to his absolute commitment to the Sangiovese grape and getting the truest expression out of it, year in, year out. Lana has taken Riecine to the next level since taking over in 2011, developing a state-of-the-art winery and raising their profile worldwide by consistently producing wine that is, quite simply, world class.
"We age this 100% Sangiovese in concrete for two years, the time allows the wine to harmonise, and the concrete doesn't interfere with the purity that we love from this small parcel." - Lana Frank, Winemaker.
