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.

vinification

In the realm of exclusivity, a mere 1500 bottles emerge from the hands of artisans, each meticulously crafted to perfection. With a manual harvest that speaks to tradition and devotion, the Chianti Classico Riserva emerges as the quintessential embodiment of terroir. Reserved for only the most exceptional vintages. Nestled within the estate's most esteemed parcel, adjacent to the cellar, the grapes bask in the gentle embrace of a sun-drenched southern exposure. Here, the clay-loam soil, enriched with skeletal remnants and schist, bestows upon the wine an unparalleled mineral essence—a true reflection of its origin. Fermentation unfolds over three weeks in acacia barrels, infusing the wine with delicate nuances and subtle complexities. Following this meticulous process, Sangiovese undergoes refinement for 12 months in tonneaux, while Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon gracefully mature in barriques for the same duration. The final crescendo comes with the harmonious blending of these varietals, a symphony of flavors and textures carefully orchestrated. A further refinement of 8 months in steel precedes the wine's bottling, ensuring its integrity and purity remain intact until the moment it graces the glass.
