| Origin |
Radda in Chinati (Siena). |
| Soil composition |
On the hills of Radda in Chianti, in Pian d'Albola, at an altitude of around 400 metres, is the vineyard, with southern exposure, located on soils of good structure and clay texture characterised by the presence of skeleton (the famous alberese found throughout the Chianti Classico area). |
| Cultivation system |
Spurred and double cordon. |
| Vinification |
The must, obtained from hand-picked grapes, is fermented in horizontal fermenters, where it stays for about 3 weeks. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is immediately placed to age in oak barrels. |
| Ageing |
The process lasts 20 months: 10% of the wine rests in Allier oak barriques and 90% in traditional Slavonian oak barrels. This is followed by 12 months of ageing in stainless steel containers and a further six months in the bottle. |
