Vinification — The grapes for this wine grow vineyards planted in Chianti DOCG growing area. Mature grapes are harvested, de-stemmed and pressed. The entire process of vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks: after the alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature, the wine undergoes the malolactic fermentation, a process that lowers total acidity and makes wine seem rounder and fuller in flavor. The wine is then finally bottled during the following spring.

Today this Tuscan wine is one of Italy's most well-known and recognizable wines because of its strong and powerful flavor.
