A native New Yorker, Silvio Messana moved his family to Tuscany in the mid-1990s to care for his mother. After her death they chose to remain in Italy, turning the Chianti Classico farm into their home with a portion of the farm converted as a half-year bed-and-breakfast. Silvio immediately began working on the vineyards himself. Today Silvio farms a bit more than 28 acres, mostly Sangiovese and Canaiolo with some plantings of Colorino and Cabernet, a mix of old and younger vines, maintaining all following biodynamic farming principles. He also rents an additional 15 acres of Sangiovese, and in 2019 launched a negociant project under his own name.This Sangivese is Messana’s foundational wine, and always the first to be released. The grapes for this wine are picked earlier than those for his others, and he applies only a short maceration with limited punch downs. The result is an elegant red, light on its feet, with floral aromatics and tart red cherries on the palate.
