WINE MAKING PROCESS
Casa Emma Chianti Classico is produced using organically grown grapes harvested by hand. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel and small wooden tanks under controlled temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for one year in 500-liter barrels or barriques, and potentially larger wood. This process is guided by the winery's philosophy of creating intense, elegant wines that reflect their terroir through balanced winemaking.
