The grapes coming from the Querciavalle vineyards , situated in the Chianti Classico area, are carefully selected, privileging to the entire bunches picked up during the harvest, in order to balance both the acidity and sugar content. The grapes are attached to wire until the second half of November allowing them to air dry naturally. After the weighing, the must is placed in small wood casks called “caratelli”. The alcoholic fermentation needs a long time, in order to reach the 16% as maximum alcoholic level. The aging process in caratelli will take about ten years.
