When to uncork it

We start from the assumption that Chianti , in itself, is a wine that makes everyone agree , you don't need too many excuses.

Vinification and Aging

At the beginning of October the harvest starts, strictly manual with a preliminary selection of the grapes in the vineyard and a subsequent one with the use of a sorting table. The grapes are left to ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats . Maceration of the grapes on the skins follows for 2-3 weeks. This permanence is allowed by the perfect degree of ripeness of the grapes . Subsequently, the fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and oak barrels which helps to make the wine more pleasant to drink . At the end of this phase, the aging period begins which takes place partly in tonneaux and partly in 20 hl Slavonian oak barrels . Following bottling , the wine is aged in the bottle for at least 6 months.
