Vineyard and winemaking

This carefully balanced blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon brings together Tuscany's classic winemaking tradition and a modern focus on quality. The particular soils of the Tignanello vineyards and the Mediterranean climate provide ideal conditions for both varieties. As a Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG, the wine is subject to strict rules on origin and production that underline its regional identity.

After vinification, the wine matures for around twelve months in French and Hungarian barriques, followed by a further twelve months in bottle, which allows it to develop harmoniously. Its origin, careful grape selection and well-judged oak ageing give this dry Riserva its distinctive character.

Serving and cellaring

With its concentrated structure and ageing potential, this Tuscan red is a fine choice for special occasions and also rewards further cellaring – a compelling example of premium Italian red wine.
