Careful choice of the most suitable grapes, slow ageing in the cellar, and bottle maturation give this wine the highly appreciated features of elegance and harmony for which Riserva Chianti Classico is famous.
VARIETIES
Minimum 80% Sangiovese, complementary varieties.
PRODUCTION DISTRICT
Grapes grown in the Chianti Classico hills between Florence and Siena.
TYPE OF SOIL
Medium-textured, rich in alberese and galestro.

Guyot and spurred cordon.

Grapes picked by mid-October.
WINEMAKING METHOD

AGEING NOTE
The passage in wood and the subsequent ageing in bottles creates a complex, harmonious, velvety-soft wine.
