Notes
A wine of exceptional identity, intense, rich and complex with fruity and spicy notes. Hints of flowers, small red and black berries, complemented by dark fresh spices.
Vinification
Fermentation takes place spontaneously with our own indigenous yeasts in small stainless steel tanks. After maceration on the skins, the wine is drawn off and transferred directly into barriques of the best fine-grained French oak, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. Aging takes place for 18 months in French oak barrels. In addition, the wine matures for another 6 months in bottle before being released to 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.
