This wine has an intense and vivid ruby red color, a typical young Sangiovese aroma, with red fruits like cherries, floral notes like violet and
peony, and a light aroma of bergamot zest. The sip is fresh and velvety, and all the aromas recognized by the nose correspond harmoniously
on the palate. Intense and juicy, easy to drink. The final is soft and pleasantly sapid, with delicate mature tannin. It is the most representative wine of the Chianti Classico region.
– After a soft pressing, the vinification takes place in stainless steel at a set temperature of 25 °C. The maceration is short, within one week.
– The ageing process lasts 12 months; half of the wine ages in a 38 hl. French oak barrels, the other half, in a steel barrel
– Aged for 6 month in the bottle.
