Our Chianti Colli Senesi is born from the ancient typicality of this centenary wine aimed at interpreting a new tradition. The vines used are those of the past, only autochthonous and Tuscan, red and white. The Sangiovese bunches, which are 95% of our Chianti, are those of the oldest plants we have in the company, which ripen well beyond the time of the new clones, small and loose bunches, but with a thick skin rich in polyphenols and aromas , crunchy and sugary.

The Chianti DOCG terroir is characterized by a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The soils vary from limestone to clay, offering optimal conditions for vine cultivation. The rolling hills and moderate altitude contribute to good sun exposure and ventilation, promoting grape ripening.
