La Marcellina

Sangiovese-focused Chianti producer balancing tradition with thoughtful blending.

La Marcellina sits in Chianti, the heart of Toscana's wine country. The winery works primarily with Sangiovese, the region's signature variety, which brings structure and earthy complexity to its core expressions. The Chianti Classico anchors the portfolio—a pure Sangiovese wine that captures the varietal's characteristic acidity and mineral spine. The Chianti Classico Sassocupo Riserva elevates this foundation with the addition of Canaiolo Nero, a traditional Tuscan complement that softens the blend's edges. A second flagship, Camporosso, pairs Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon in a Toscana blend, introducing darker fruit and structural weight alongside the native grape's savory character. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff have all assessed La Marcellina's releases. The winery's approach centers on the interplay between Sangiovese's natural profile and selective blending partners, letting the Chianti terroir define the final expression.
