LE
VIGNE DEI SELVATICI
 |
I Selvatici
is a small viticultural estate situated on the hills of the Valdarno,
two kilometres west of the Chianti Classico region and just below
the Badia a Coltibuono. The current generation of the Sala family,
brothers Fausto and Carlo, have undertaken lengthy studies and experimentation
in their search to preserve and ameliorate the antique traditions
of Chianti.
Our wines are the fruits of long and carefully researched production
methods, both in the vineyards and in the transformation of the
grapes into wine. Following the development of our wines in the
cellar is the final stage of a scrupulous process already carried
out in the vineyards.
Nearly all the estate's vineyards are south facing and at an average
height of 250 meters. Ideal exposure to sunlight guarantees optimal
growth, but of even greater importance is the arduous clonal selection
undertaken over the past 15 years resulting in the discovery and
preservation of superior clones.
Cultivation of the best clones of each particular grape variety,
unwavering attention to the vines, and meticulous selection at harvest
time lead to the finished product. Our wines grasp, deepen, and
push forward the ageless fruits of Tuscan origin. They are expressions
of Tuscany, results of the before and after; wines which could not
be from anywhere else.
