The grapes used to make Chianti DOCG “Riserva del Conte” 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.

This wine is the product of first-choice grapes from our “Fornace” (=oven) vineyard. That vineyard has been named after its warm and dry summer microclimate. The exposure is against south-east getting the sun from early morning. The wine rests for 12 months in barrels of French oak from Allier’s forest, producing a full-bodied, spiced wine.
