Located in the Montespertoli subzone of Chianti, the Guido Gualandi winery is among the most interesting and exciting producers to emerge from the appellation in recent memory.
The name of Guido Gualandi's "Gualandus" is inspired by his family's Latin name. Mention of the family and the Gualandi knights, originally of Pisa, dates back to the thirteenth century and beyond. The Gualandi tower in Pisa was the setting for one of the most famous episodes in Dante's
Divine Comedy
(the story of Ugolino della Gherardesca).
Like all of Guido's wines, the Gualandus is made using 100% natural vinification: no herbicides or pesticides are used in the vineyard, only organic fertilizers are used, the grapes are picked and pressed -- literally -- by hand and foot respectively, and fermentation is carried out without temperature control in a cellar where wine has been made for more than 500 years.
Gualandus is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. Its natural fruit flavors and aromas and its bright acidity make a great "food" wine to pair with pasta and classic meat sauces and grilled meats.
