Sensi Vigne e Vini

Sensi Vigne e Vini is an an estate in Tuscany owned by the Sensi family. The vast majority of its portfolio is dedicated to the classic wines of this region, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

The estate was founded in 1895, when Pietro Sensi founded a business to sell his wines at market. Later, his two sons, Vittorio and Armido, inherited the business and named it Fratelli Sensi. The company expanded under the management of subsequent generations of the Sensi family, eventually leading to the establishment of its current 5000-square-meter winery in Lamporecchio.

Sensi owns two vineyard sites in Montalbano: Tenuta del Poggio and Calappiano Farm. Together they cover 80 hectares (198 acres) of land planted to Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay. The vines lie on southwest-facing slopes at altitudes of around 1640ft (500m) above sea level and are planted in soils primarily of marlstone, clay, sand and rocks. Chianti is by far the chief product of these vineyards and makes up a substantial part of the estate's Classic range.

In addition, Sensi collaborates with a selection of wine producers located across Tuscany for the production of wines including Chianti Classico, Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, Nobile di Montepulciano, Bolgheri, Morellino di Scansano and Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

The Sesi portfolio also includes several expressions of Prosecco, as well as Tuscany's traditional dessert wine, Vin Santo del Chianti.
