About the wine
A wine that highlights the importance of the Sangiovese grape in the most beautiful way, while maintaining its graceful elegance.

A careful and long-term vinification ensures the highest quality!
Only the best grapes are used for the Riserva. After careful selection in the vineyard and on the vibrating sorting table, the grapes ferment in cement. The must is kept at a controlled temperature, partly using dry ice, for the first four to five days before spontaneous fermentation begins. After fermentation, the must incl. skins for another ten days before being transferred to a large Grenier oak cask.
Here the Chianti Classico Riserva spends 22 months before being returned to the cement tank for stabilization and natural clarification. After the stabilization period, the wine is bottled and matured for a further three months before being released.
