Tasting Notes

This Chianti Classico DOCG stands as a benchmark for Tuscany's highest quality classification. Its 14% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Sangiovese 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards on soils based on clay and limestone at 450 meters above sea level in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in a cement tank with a maceration of 10-15 days. The wine is aged 20 months in large Grenier oak barrels. A wine true to the storied winemaking heritage of Tuscany.
