Istine

For decades the Fronti family tended vineyards for other people's labels. Angela Fronti changed that, convincing her father and uncle to bottle wine under their own name and building Istine into a benchmark for terroir-driven Chianti Classico.

The Fronti family long specialized in developing and managing vineyards for well-known Tuscan estates, while owning small plots of their own around Radda and Gaiole in Chianti. After studying enology, Angela Fronti persuaded her family to create their own label, and Istine began bottling with the first commercial vintages around 2012, starting from the eponymous Istine vineyard.
