About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the Chianti Classico area at 250–320 metres above sea level.

Grapes

The blend contains at least 80% Sangiovese, with a small proportion of other red varieties.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand from mid-September to mid-October. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with local yeasts, followed by 15–20 days of post-fermentation maceration.

Ageing

Half of the wine matures in oak barrels and half in stainless steel tanks for at least eight months. It then ages in bottle for a minimum of three months in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Well-balanced.
