The spectacular and powerful riserva of the Chianti Classico DOCG of the Antinori winery is sublime. It is produced by the blending of 90% Sangiovese and 10% of Cabernet grapes. For the vinification the grapes are destemmed and pressed in a soft way. The alcoholic fermentation is fast allowing the creation of a net aroma; the maceration lasts 12 days with several pumping over which allows to extract colors and sweet tannins. The fermentation temperature is at maximum 30°C. The blend created after the malolactic fermentation had to be aged up to the spring. For the aging period there were used the barrels.
