ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Terreno ASofia Chianti Classico is produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes. Harvested by hand in small trays, the grapes undergo fermentation and skin contact in open 10hl vessels, utilizing natural yeasts and manual remontage for optimal extraction. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 30 months in large oak casks (30hl) and then rests for at least one year in bottle before release. Terreno employs organic farming practices, emphasizing a philosophy of respecting nature and preserving the ecosystem.
