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 Cavalleresco or "chivalrous" was inspired by his family's noble origins. Mention of Gualandi 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 Cavalleresco 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.
Cavallaresco is a blend of Sangiovese (which gives the wine its gentle fruit aromas and flavors), Colorino (which imparts its rich color), and a small amount of Merlot (which give the wine its rich body and opulent mouthfeel).
