APPELLATION: Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
UGA: San Casciano
GRAPE VARIETY: Sangiovese
SOIL: Clay-limestone.
HARVEST: Hand-picked with double selection of the grapes.
VINIFICATION: The grapes are destemmed and transferred to unlined concrete tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for approximately fifteen days. During the early stages, pump-overs are carried out to ensure a homogeneous extraction of the must, followed by punch-downs and délestage. At the end of fermentation, the skins remain in contact with the wine for a further seventy-two hours of post-fermentation maceration.
AGEING: Twenty-four months in 500-litre tonneaux, approximately 30% of which are new oak.
BOTTLING: June 2025.
ALCOHOL: 14% alc./vol.
TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby red in colour. The bouquet reveals aromas of ripe red berries, tobacco and nutmeg, with elegant balsamic nuances. On the palate, the wine is broad, complex and well-balanced, supported by fine and elegant tannins and a long, persistent finish.
