The vineyards of Villa Silvia
in Chianti, near Vinci in Tuscany.
The climate
The climate in this region is typically Mediterranean, characterized by warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The hilly terrain provides excellent air circulation, which helps regulate temperature and prevent diseases in the vineyards.
These conditions contribute to a slow and even ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines with depth and complexity.
The terroir
The soil in the vineyards of Villa Silvia mainly consists of rocky, poor soils with a significant amount of shells. Although these soils are low in nutrients, they are ideal for producing structured wines.
The poor soil forces the vines to root deeply, leading to more intense flavor development in the grapes. These soils contribute to the fresh, harmonious, and mineral flavor profiles of the wines.
Winemaking in Chianti
In Chianti, great importance is placed on sustainable and organic winemaking. Many vineyards, such as Villa Silvia, prefer organic cultivation and respect nature by minimizing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This helps preserve biodiversity in the vineyards and ensures that the grapes retain their true character.
The grapes are usually hand-harvested, allowing for careful selection of the best fruit for wine production. During fermentation, natural yeasts present in the vineyard are often used, contributing to the wine’s unique identity.
