The vineyards are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003ePliocene-origin soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in fossilised shells, a matrix that gives the wine pronounced persistence and colour intensity. The favourable climate allows for full ripening of the grapes, defining the clear profile of Chianti.

Red vinification involves \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for about eight days and fermentation at a controlled temperature. Frequent pumping over and délestage are used to extract anthocyanins, ensuring colour and depth. The subsequent \u003cstrong\u003eageing in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, which continues until March, is a technical choice aimed at preserving and enhancing the natural \u003cstrong\u003earomatic freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChianti DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitruviano celebrates the authentic Tuscan vocation, coming to life on the historic hills of Vinci.
