Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the Le Macìe estate, in the Castellina in Chianti area, one of the most representative contexts of the Chianti Classico DOCG denomination. Here, Sangiovese finds ideal conditions to develop finesse, freshness, and aromatic depth. The choice to work with native grape varieties enhances the connection to the territory and brings to the bottle an elegant, structured style that is consistent with the great Tuscan tradition. Aging in French oak barrels and subsequent resting in the bottle contribute to defining a more complex and harmonious sip.
