A certified organic and authentic Chianti Classico, with abundant notes of sour cherry with floral notes. The palate is full and bright, with cherries, integrated, supple tannins and an appealing freshness through to the finish.
Harvested by hand, destemmed and gently crushed before a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in steel at controlled temperatures of 22/24°C for a period of 10 to 15 days after which there is a period of maceration on the skins. The malolactic fermentation that follows takes place in cement tanks. The wine then ages in 50 hl barrels of Slavonian oak.
