About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from a limited harvest taken from the company's best vineyard sites.

Vinification

The wine macerates on the skins for 8 days. Malolactic fermentation follows, lasting 9 days, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine ages for 20 months in oak barrels, then rests at least 4 more months in bottle.

Tasting profile

A classic aged Chianti with distinctive cherry notes on both nose and palate.
