Chianti Classico D.O.C.G.

This Chianti Classico D.O.C.G. is made with Sangiovese and a small percentage of Canaiolo grapes, carefully selected and dosed with the aim of obtaining a wine with marked characteristics of terroir, typicality and elegance.

Grape

95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo

Vinification and ageing

The freshly picked grapes are destemmed and crushed before undergoing fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration on skins lasts two to three weeks. This is made possible by the perfect ripeness of the grapes. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in stainless steel vats and oak barrels, helping to make the wine more pleasant to drink and transforming its sensory qualities. At the end of this phase, the ageing period begins, partly in tonneaux and partly in French and Slavonian oak barrels with a capacity of 20 hl. After bottling, the wine spends some time bottle ageing.
