About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Produced at Le Bocce in Panzano in Chianti, close to the boundary between the provinces of Florence and Siena. The estate occupies a mid-hill position. Marl, silt and clay form permeable, nutrient-bearing soils. Summer brings a marked difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, while gentler winter variations support phenolic ripening.

Grapes

100% Sangiovese.

Technical data

Chianti Classico DOCG. The grapes are harvested in the second half of October. Alcohol is 13.5% vol.

Tasting profile

Aromatic intensity is a defining feature. The palate combines substantial consistency with balance, drinkability and an approachable character. The broader Le Bocce style emphasizes longevity, gentle tannins, softness and freshness.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 18–20°C.
