Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are grown in Greve in Chianti, on soils with a predominance of limestone. Harvesting is carried out by hand.
Grapes
100% Trebbiano Toscano. Carefully selected bunches are hung to dry naturally for approximately three months in a room ventilated from the north, helping to avoid a substantial loss of acidity.
Vinification
The dried bunches are carefully selected before the whole grapes undergo gentle crushing. The must is clarified naturally and racked. Fermentation begins in steel and then continues in small kegs, where it may proceed for as long as two years.
Ageing
The wine matures for at least 36 months in individual 100 L kegs, followed by 12 months of refinement in bottle.
