Chianti Classico terroir
At Dievole, the combination of land, climate and human experience makes the Chianti Classico unique: a patrimony with a long history that the company feels the responsibility and the duty of passing down to future generations.
Situated between 270 and 420 metres a.s.l. the 158 hectares of vineyards vaunt a partly sandy, partly silty clayey terrain, with a dense presence of fossils and marl. Given the vastness of the vinery, the soils differ considerably from one side to the other, bestowing the wines with a precious mosaic of hues.
Much of the planted terrain is dedicated to the Sangiovese but there are also other Italian vine varieties typical of Tuscany and the Chianti Classico wine region, like Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino and white grapes, including Trebbiano and Malvasia.
Dievole’s goal, starting with its own vineyard, is to recover the character of the historic native Tuscan varieties and to shift them to the glass with the utmost respect for the authenticity of the terroir and the identity of the variety.
An organic balance
We have been cultivating balance in every aspect for years and since 2017 we can boast the “organic” certification. It is a philosophy and a commitment that we have undertaken not only in the Chianti Classico but also in the other territories where we are present as a group: we want authentic wines, grown with respect for the environment and the consumer, free to express their truest nature. The word balance represents for Dievole a fundamental point of the company philosophy, especially as regards soil management and plant health.
