Chianti Classico Experience   

Chianti Classico a small piece of land of 173.000 acres between Florence and Siena. Those borders go back to the proclamation of Cosimo III in 1716.

The grape red and Sangiovese variety is the indisputed queen of Chianti. Its red berry quality forms the principal structure of various Chianti wines. Free to express itself at the most, originates the Chianti Riserva.

The vintage starts when the grapes are ripe.

The rows of vines become populated of people that give life to the vineyards with their work and their voices, and that strip it from its grapes to discharge them in the panniers.
