chianti classico DOCG Riserva 2019
A very warm spring brings forward the vegetation that is then stopped by rains and frost in May. This is followed by a well-balanced summer with hot peaks but also some rain that keeps the ripening in balance. A nice regular harvest from the beginning until mid-October that allowed us to make several rounds of selection. The best grapes destined to the Reserve remai-ned well ventilated on the vines until mid-October.
