Winemaking

This typical Tuscan wine requires careful processing with different transfers and fermentations at controlled temperature. It takes 17 months before the wine acquires its characteristic ruby red color and boasts of the prestigious Chianti DOCG label.

This wine is born from the union of Sangiovese grapes (90%) and other vines selected by the producer (10%) in order to obtain different aromas and flavors.

Grapes are harvested manually, cleaned and subjected to a small pressure. The compound is then brought to maceration in steel tanks where it will remain at controlled temperature for 22 days.

Then, everything is put in oak barrels where aging begins for 12 months. It is then filtered and refined in bottle for another 4 months.

Alcohol

13.5% vol.

Gustative Notes
