OFFER: WINES FOR SUMMER PARTIES IN THE GARDEN
As an exception, for the members of the Donatella Club, two fresh wines for the summer: ideal for lunches and dinners in the garden, for aperitifs and for parties next to the pool with friends.
Now that we really want to participate in convivial events, also considering that in summer we prefer to be outdoors, these are two wines to keep close at hand!
Sanchimento-IGT-Toscana-Bianco-2021-and-Chianti-Superiore-2019
The Sanchimento IGT Bianco Toscano, which has always been considered very versatile, is a wonderful match for savoury snacks and meals based on delicate dishes such as vegetable soups, fish, shellfish, white meats, vegetables and fresh cheeses.
While for the Chianti Superiore DOCG, a red wine, the approach to consumption changes. Even the Chianti Consortium suggests lowering the temperature in order to fully enjoy its pleasantness, freshness of perfumes and aromas in summer.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SERVICE TEMPERATURE
Sparkling Wines are served at a temperature of 4-6 °C.
White wines are divided into 2 categories:
- the young and fresh white wines, which are aged only in steel and should be drunk within a few months, should be served at a temperature between 8-10°C;
- the more structured white wines that have a longer refinement and more evolved aromas should be served at a temperature between 10-12°C.
Rosé wines, on the other hand, have some of the characteristics of both white and red wines, especially the hints and aromas of whites and the body of reds. This middle ground means that they should be served at an intermediate temperature between white wines and red wines at a temperature of 12-14°C.
Red wines are also divided into 2 categories:
- young red wines to be able to appreciate their vinous aroma and delicious floral and fresh fruit notes should be served at a temperature between 14-16°C;
- long-aged red wines, or evolved red wines, with great structure and tannins, should be served at a temperature of 16-18 °C emphasizing not only the elegance of the wine, but above all the tertiary aromas and the pleasant taste given by the balance of the soft and hard parts of the wine.
THE SANCHIMENTO IGT 2021
Wines-for-the-summer-from-Fattoria-del-Colle
Organic, from a great harvest and with a small orange addition. A small Supertuscan where nature and creativity are combined with surprising results.
The small Sanchimento vineyard, from which the grapes and the name of the wine come, was planted in 1989 around the chapel of San Clemente. This saint was Pope from 88 to 97 and died martyred in 99 in Sevastopol by being thrown into the sea with an anchor tied around his neck. In the local vernacular it is called with the oldest name of San Chimento.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE ORANGE WINES
Orange wine are in fact wines produced with white berried grapes but vinified like red wines, that is with maceration, or contact of the must with skins and yeasts. The duration of maceration can vary from a few days to several months, depending on the structure of the product to be obtained.
THE CHIANTI SUPERIORE DOCG 2019
In 2019, the climate was particularly favourable. The very rainy spring, especially in April and May, hydrated the soil allowing the vines to well withstand the summer heat. There were only two major disturbances (1st July and 15th September) for a total of almost 200 mm of water. They were the touch that was needed for a masterpiece harvest. The 2019 grapes were perfect with very small bunches and grapes, healthy and ripe in a very balanced way.
A SPECIAL FEATURE OF FATTORIA DEL COLLE
The ancestors of the current owner, the Socinis, a wealthy family from Siena, around 1550 had among their members 5 “free thinkers”. These had taken sides against the Church. Unfortunately in the sixteenth century it was very dangerous to challenge the papacy, the Socini were therefore excommunicated and their assets confiscated. The Fattoria del Colle farm returned to the same family after four hundred years, at the beginning of the twentieth century, when it was bought back by Donatella’s great-grandfather.
