Chianti Colli Senesi
The wine: This wine begins in the company's youngest vineyard, where the fruitiness and freshness of the Tuscan Sangiovese grapes are enhanced.
Soil characteristics: tuffaceous soil, which causes the grapes to mature and yield clusters of ripe grapes that are rich in flavor, with a fruity bouquet.
Planting density: 5,000 plants per hectare.
Cultivation method: buttressed string.
Vines: 100 percent Sangiovese.
Wine making technique: gentle pressing, fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 25-26° C, managed with repassing; steeping of the peel for 8-12 days.
Refining technique: the wine rests in large bottles and in steel until it is bottled. It is then further refined for several weeks before going to market.
Aging potential: the wine's characteristics are best expressed for up to two years after the vintage.
