From the vinification of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo grapes, bred strictly in Tuscany within the company limits. After the harvest that takes place in the month of October, the grapes ferment in steel, where malolactic is also carried out. The aging takes place in French oak barrels for 7 months, followed by 7 more in bottle.
Chianti Classico DOCG's features
The organoleptic analysis of the wine shows an aspect of deep ruby red color, the nose has aromas of cherry and violet that, together with notes of licorice and vanilla, create a very suggestive olfactory bouquet. The taste on the palate reflects the balance and confirms the cherry already present among the aromas, with a tannin that supports the whole body.
