About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is hand-harvested from vineyards in the historic heart of the Chianti Classico area.

Vinification

The grapes undergo skin maceration for 12–14 days, followed by fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests in Slavonian and French oak barrels for 6–10 months, then spends a further three months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Oak ageing contributes a pleasant hint of spice.
