They settled in the vineyards surrounding the Brancaia estate and after just two years obtained their first major national recognition: their rise culminated with the purchase of two more sumptuous estates and a total of 80 hectares of vineyards. We are in the beating heart of the classic zone of the denomination, an area particularly suited to viticulture and dominated by \u003cb\u003eSangiovese grapes\u003c\/b\u003e. The vineyards from which \u003cb\u003eBrancaia Chianti Classico DOCG\u003c\/b\u003e are grown at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level and have a predominantly southern exposure. The \u003cb\u003espurred cordon vines\u003c\/b\u003e are planted in soils composed of sand, clay, and silt. The Sangiovese vineyards of the \u003cb\u003eChianti Classico DOCG Brancaia\u003c\/b\u003e boast manual harvesting and the complete absence of irrigation. Following the principles of \u003cb\u003eintegrated production\u003c\/b\u003e, the use of fertilizers and pesticides has been significantly reduced. The avoidance of insecticide treatments and the \u003cb\u003egrassing of the swaths\u003c\/b\u003e between the rows have the advantage of restoring the balance present in nature, facilitating the reproduction of ladybugs and other beneficial insects. \u003cb\u003eFermentation\u003c\/b\u003e takes place in stainless steel vats at a temperature of 30°C, while \u003cb\u003eaging\u003c\/b\u003e begins in oak barrels or concrete tanks for a period of no less than 12 months and is completed in the bottle.","brand":"Brancaia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46133347025067,"sku":"60138","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/brancaia-chianti-classico-2024_60138_1_44196bbd-b65e-4666-b080-8c9703744660.webp?v=1773810630","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-se\/products\/brancaia-chianti-classico-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
