Chianti Superiore DOCG “Villa da Filicaja"

The grapes used to make Chianti Superiore DOCG “Vincenzo da Filicaja” are harvested by hand into crates with a specific harvest-transfer-destemming criteria, which enables the destemming and the pumping of the must into fermentation tanks within a maximum of 15 minutes after picking the grapes from the vine.
