Vineyard: Selected Chianti vineyards with sandy, clay and calcareous soil.
Vinification: Traditional vinification: mature grapes are harvested from vineyards and crushed almost immediately. Afterwards the grapes are poured in large inox tanks for fermentation.

When the primary fermentation is perfect, the wine is filtered and stored at constant temperature in Slavonian oak casks for a minimum period of 24 months.
