We produce very tradional chianti classico with only local grapes, mainly Sangiovese. Thw wine making is made in concrete vats, spontaneusly without selected yeast nor the temperature control. Ageing is made in big barrels of french oak coming from Burgundy. The chiantic classico annata is coming from the youngest vines, around 22 years old. Then we prodce 3 Cru single vineyard. The Campitello riserva, the Baron'Ugo, the Bragantino. The winery has a very high elevation, from 420 mt to 600 mt. The soil is rocky calcareous ( alberese) very reach in minerality and savory. LOng ageing, rocky soil and the forest surrounding the estate give to the style a very strong acidity and freshness, low alcool and finesse.
