Ciglianodi Sopra is an exciting up and coming Chianti producer run by dynamic duo Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari. The two met at university in Florence while studying wine and were aligned on the kind of wines they wanted to make. They did winemaking stints with some of Tuscany's most sought-after producers such as Montevertine and Fontodi before going abroad to California where they worked with influential sommelier-turned-winemaker Raj Parr at Domaine de la Cote and Sandhi. They were inspired by his emphasis on terroir expression, achieved through organics and low-intervention winemaking, and took what they’d learned back home to Tuscany.
This is a real passion project. These are sublime wines that simultaneously signal a return to the past and a leap into the future -- a timeless style that's all about terroir expression and balance. A refreshing take on Chianti Classico,Ciglianodi Sopra is, without a doubt, a new kind of icon in the making.
