Retromarcia is a Chianti Classico made from Sangiovese (100%) grapes (since 2010). A large proportion of the grapes come from vineyards consisting of shale (Galestro), limestone (Alberese) and sandstone (Arenaria-Calcare-Pietraforte), and are, on average, ten years in age. The vinification and maturation is reminiscent of a more traditional style Chianti Classico.

The Italian word Retromarcia has come to mean more to us than its literal translation to back up or to reverse; ever since we arrived in Panzano, it has been our aim to produce intensely typical and expressive wines from Tuscanys historic zone Chianti Classico. With the name Retromarcia, we are emphasizing a return to the natural elegance and charm of Sangiovese.
