PRACTICES ORGANIC FARMING
100% Sangiovese
William Goldschmidt grew up on the Corzano e Paterno estate in the Chianti hills just south of Florence. Clivo Altura is his personal wine label made from sites around Chianti that have cooler exposures or sit at higher altitudes. He then makes use of whole clusters and whole berries (destemmed) when fermenting, something that's been tradition for varieties like Pinot Noir and Syrah when a winemaker wants to make more elegant and finessed wines. He ages in a mix of mid-sized and smaller French oak barrels for around 16 months, allowing for an enriching depth and polished edges without covering up the aromatic qualities of his carefully chosen Sangiovese.
