WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Chiara Condello's 2021 Sangiovese involves partially de-stemmed grapes with whole berries. Natural fermentation occurs with indigenous yeast in large open wood vats and tonneaux, followed by a maceration period of 25-35 days. The wine is then aged for 24 months in large, used Slavonian oak casks (35hL) and a further 12 months in bottle before release. Minimal intervention is a guiding principle throughout the cellar work.
