Wine description

A refined and respectful wine of the territory made with sangiovese grapes and other local varieties all cultivated in the Chianti territory. The vineyards are located in the Castellina in Chainti hills located at 300-400 meters above the sea level. The vines are cultivated with the Guyot method and the cordon spur pruning and the soils are rich of alberese and galestro. The profit is limited. The manual grape harvest takes place in the first decade of October and there is a cold pre-fermentation. The fermentation lasts 15 days under temperature control. There are several pumping over. Then there is a refinement in French oak barrels to have harmony and softness.
