WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cafaggio Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 begins with manual harvesting in late September and early October. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures, utilizing pump-overs with air for marc extraction. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation follows. The wine then undergoes an 18-month aging period in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels, followed by three months of bottle aging before release.
