WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of N° 11 Chianti Riserva by König & Brolin begins with the destemming and crushing of Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation is conducted over 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a technique that helps manage the extraction of color and tannins while preserving fruit character. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in French oak barriques, followed by a minimum of one and a half years of bottle aging. This extended aging period is characteristic of a Riserva designation, allowing the wine to integrate and develop further complexity.
