History
Montesecondo is located in San Casciano Val di Pesa, in the heart of Chianti Classico, and is the creation of Silvio Messana, a visionary winemaker who has embraced biodynamic agriculture and a philosophy of minimal intervention. The name “Tïn” comes from the Arabic word for “clay”, highlighting the central role of terracotta amphorae in the winemaking process. The 2020 vintage was remarkably balanced and pure, allowing the Sangiovese to reveal its tension, finesse, and mineral-driven character.
Grape variety
Sangiovese 100%
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes from biodynamically farmed vineyards undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in unlined clay amphorae. Maceration on the skins lasts about 10 months, followed by aging in the same vessels. The wine is bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulfur, preserving its energy and natural vibrancy.
Alcohol content
13.5%
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red color with garnet highlights. The nose opens with ripe cherry, pomegranate, orange peel, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle spices. The palate is juicy, fresh, and mineral, with fine tannins and a long, savory finish. A Sangiovese of remarkable personality and expressive purity.
Food pairings
Perfect with grilled white and red meats, light game, mushrooms, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. Excellent also on its own to appreciate its elegance and depth.
