Notes
A wine with an exceptional identity, very intense and elegant. Refined, rich and complex with fruity notes of small black and red fruits combined with fresh spices from the undergrowth. Sweet, dense, full-bodied, long and balanced tannins with fresh acidity that fades into long, intense fruity and spicy notes.
Vinification
Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in barrique barrels, with Altore also carrying out malolactic fermentation. after a long maceration on the skins, the wine is transferred back into barriques, where it is aged for 24 months. in addition, it matures for at least 12 months in the bottle before being released on the market.
Producer
CHIOCCIOLI
Stefano Chioccioli, one of the most respected and excellent winemakers in the region, runs the family winery. Under his care a real jewel was created in a very short time. Together with his two sons Niccolò and Enrico, they take care of the vineyard in Gaiole Chianti as well as the vines in the two classico zones Quercegrossa and Gaiole Chianti. The soils are medium clayey, rich in limestone and marl. With 5000 vines per hectare and an average yield of 30 hectolitres per hectare, the yield is rather small and far below the legal requirements.
