The vineyards, which benefit from an optimal \u003cstrong\u003esouth-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e, stretch across hillside slopes situated between two hundred and seventy and three hundred and ten metres above sea level. The local microclimate interacts with soils composed of alberese schist and deep \u003cstrong\u003ePliocene clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by limestone deposits with distinctive blue veins. This geological matrix imparts a strong identity to the grapes, defining a clear \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial profile\u003c\/strong\u003e that reflects Bibbiano’s commitment to viticulture since 1865.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place in early October, with a limited yield to preserve fruit quality. Fermentation occurs in \u003cstrong\u003ecement vats\u003c\/strong\u003e for thirty-three days, using the délestage technique for targeted and gradual extraction. Maturation continues for twenty-four months, divided between cement and time spent in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. A further final refinement of six months completes the production process, resulting in a red wine with remarkable \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of evolving over time and expressing itself best after about an hour of decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true expression of a \u003cstrong\u003ewinemaking tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e that has enlivened the Bibbiano family estate in Castellina in Chianti since 1865, this renowned \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Gran Selezione\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced exclusively in the finest vintages.
