Nose
r, followed by an intense, complex nose, regaling generous fruit, with wild berries and ripe grape to the fore, swathed in elegant notes of vanilla, gladiolus and violet.
Palate
The clean-tasting, confident, attractive palate is velvety but persistent, with a well-defined finish of fruit preserve and almond.
Growing Conditions
Vineyards among the municipalities of Castellina in Chianti and Barberino at 300–400 metres above sea level on well-exposed soils, medium-textured, rich in alberese and galestro.
Harvest
Perfectly healthy clusters harvested before September 20th.
Winemaking
In the hills of Chianti Classico, we find the small picturesque town of Granaio, where farmers once provided wheat for the mills. This is the reason for the wheatear and the gate on the label, that give this wine a unique personality.
The grapes, carefully harvested at the right degree of ripeness, are fermented on the skins after a few days of pre-fermentative cold maceration. Slow temperaturecontrolled fermentation is accompanied by judicious pumping over that gives the wine aromas and backbone.
Appearance
Ruby colour.
Food Pairing
Baked pasta, roasts, game, grilled meats, mature cheeses
