WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione begins with hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes from vineyards with low yields. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks utilizing indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a period of 12 to 24 months in a mix of used French oak barrels, including both small and large formats. The producer emphasizes organic farming practices and minimal intervention throughout the winemaking process, including very low sulfur usage.
