picture of

Intense and bright ruby colour. The nose unfolds with typical floral notes of violets and fruity cherry and red berries and a nuanced minerality. The palate opens immediate and decisive, with freshness and flavour to dominate the middle phase. The final tasting is pleasant, again, fragrant fruity and balsamic notes.

Ideal with Tuscan dishes, especially with starters and various types of pasta. Also grilled meat.

climate

The vineyards and olive grove forests guarantee perfect sunshine and ripening of the grapes, reaching its maximum expression during the period of harvest, characterized by warm days and cool nights.

soil

The limestone and marl give the wine finesse.

vinification

Chianti Classico is made from grapes from our youngest parcels, located on sandy soil, rich in skeleton and galestro. Hand-selected and harvested in boxes, after crushing the grapes ferment in steel vats for three weeks, during which we perform frequent pump-overs, controls and tastings. The wine is then separated from the marc and put in tonneaux and barriques for twelve-months aging; after a further aging period in steel, Chianti Classico is finally ready to be bottled and enjoyed. Sangiovese: 12 months in new tonneaux Merlot e Cabernet Sauvignon: 12 months in 50% new barriques Final step: 8 months in steel before bottling
