Growing Conditions

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione was born in the vineyards in Vinci which develop from 310 to 410 meters above sea level.
SOIL: Typical Chianti soil with a high skeleton of calcareous origin that allows it to control the vigor of Sangiovese. The soil that distinguishes this wine is characterized since its formation originating from the Chianti massif by a high compact limestone stoniness that rests on a sandstone base. This type of soil
slows down the vigor of the plant and lengthens the vegetative cycle and enhances the structure of the Chianti.
EXPOSURE: South

Harvest

From mid-September to mid-October

Winemaking

The Sangiovese grapes, scrupulously harvested by hand with selection of the bunches, were destemmed and vinifi ed in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 24°C-27°C with maceration on the skins for 15-20 days.

Aging

30 months of maturation in large wooden barrel.

Appearance

Colombaio di CencioColombaio D’Oro Vinsanto del Chianti Classico Occhio di Pernice

“Vin Santo Toscano” belongs to the most ancient tradition of this Italian region. It’s the wine that symbolizes the welcoming sense and love for company of people from Tuscany, since, especially in the countryside, it used to be the wine offered to the guests. The name “Vinsanto” seems to come from the fact that the grapes from which it is produced were left to dry until the Holy Week, that of Easter, when they were pressed.
