Product notes

With each harvest, the goal is to have a very balanced wine. If the vintage does not meet the cellar's quality standards, the wine will not be marketed.

Production notes

This Chianti Classico, 100% Sangiovese, has been fermented with its native yeasts and has been aged for 12 months in traditional oak barrels of 60 Hl. The vines of the 2019 vintage were treated in sustainable agriculture.

Tasting notes
