Appellation Chianti Classico
Varietal Sangiovese
Cepage 88% Sangiovese, 12% Canaiolo
Winemaking The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. Maceration takes place in cement vats for 25 to 30 days. The wine is then left to age in steel tanks until December, after which it matures partly in large casks and partly in fourth or fifth passage barriques for 12 months, which allows the tannins to mature. Refinement in the bottle follows.
