About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from a single plot.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in October. Fermentation on the lees lasts two weeks, followed by three weeks of temperature-controlled maceration.

Ageing

The wine matures for 36 months in a single 39 hl French oak cask, then rests for a further six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

The palate is rich.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with game, particularly venison, as well as lamb.

Label / history

The label depicts a cheerful group of roosters playing musical instruments. It playfully references the wine’s origin and the rooster’s long-standing role as the symbol of Chianti Classico.
