2024 Geografico Chianti Colli Senesi
How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inGeografico Chianti Colli Senesi 2024 is an elegant red wine from Tuscany, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes. It comes from the hills surrounding Siena, an area known for Chiantis with fresh red fruit, soft tannins, and a spicy finish. This vintage combines vibrant acidity with supple fruit and a pure, classic Tuscan style.
Origin and climate of the Chianti Colli Senesi
The Colli Senesi region lies south of Florence, around the city of Siena. Part of the larger Chianti DOCG, the area is known for its varied soils of clay, sandstone, and limestone. The vineyards are situated on hillsides with abundant sunshine and the cooling influence of the Apennines. This produces grapes with ripe fruit and a natural freshness, the key to the distinctive Chianti style.
The grape varieties consist primarily of Sangiovese , supplemented with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. The vines are planted on slopes where the wind can blow freely through the bunches, resulting in healthy grapes. The combination of altitude, sun, and soil conditions produces wines with a fresh structure, a light spiciness, and aromas of cherries and strawberries.
Vinification and flavor profile of the Chianti Colli Senesi 2024
After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruity aromas. A short aging in large oak barrels rounds out the wine and adds extra softness. Geografico's style remains true to classic Chianti: pure, vibrant, and balanced.
In the glass, the wine has a bright ruby red color. The nose opens with aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and violets , followed by a hint of thyme and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is smooth with fresh acidity and subtle tannins. The taste reveals juicy red fruit with a light spice and a hint of almond on the finish. The balance between fruit and freshness makes the wine easy to drink and also delicious.
The 2024 vintage is characterized by its precision and bright fruit. It is a modern interpretation of the classic Chianti style: accessible, lively, and with a light mineral note that gives the wine depth.

Wine features
The company 'Agricoltori del Chianti Geografico' was founded in 1961. It was a cooperative that has since been taken over by Piccini. At Geografico, each vineyard that comes under management is evaluated by the geologist and the vineyard specialist. They give advice on the best grape varieties and rootstocks. They then assist the owner in setting up the vineyard and constantly in vineyard management. An expert winemaker team makes the wine. Finally, there are state of the art bottling lines. This quality philosophy is combined with terroir-orientation: the grapes for the higher wines always come from one vineyard and are therefore named after their domain. The wines are produced in a classical way with little intervention in the vinification process. This results in honest wines, pleasantly drinkable wines, which are also competitively priced.
Geografico Chianti Colli Senesi 2024 biedt helder rood fruit van kersen en framboos, frisse zuren, zachte tannines en een subtiele kruidigheid met een hint van amandel in de afdronk. Door die frisse structuur en zuiver fruit vormt hij een perfecte begeleider van gevogelte, varkensvlees, charcuterie, harde kazen en pasta of pizza met tomatensaus, waarbij gerechten met gegrild of langzaam gegaard vlees, kip met rozemarijn of tomaatrijke sauzen en hartige paddenstoelenrisotto extra goed uitkomen omdat de zuren het vet en de umami aanvullen en de kruiden de wijns kruidige tonen benadrukken.
