Where it comes from

The Sangiovese grapes come from the vineyards of Castelli del Grevepesa near Greve in Chianti, in the province of Florence. The temperate climate with significant temperature fluctuations promotes aromatic development, contributing to the wine’s elegance and freshness.

How it's made

The hand harvest in crates protects the integrity of the bunches. After careful selection, the grapes are destemmed and fermented at a controlled temperature for ten days. Extended maceration extracts color and tannins, then 24 months aging in barriques completes maturation. The wine rests for at least 3 months in the bottle, reaching a mature and harmonious aromatic profile.
