It is a wine that authoritatively interprets the character of the denomination, combining precision, depth, and territorial identity. The selection of grapes and aging in tonneau contribute to defining an elegant yet decisive style, designed for those seeking a Tuscan red with great personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cru comes from a vineyard located on clay-limestone soil, the \u003cstrong\u003ealberese\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the most recognizable expressions of the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e territory. Rich in calcium carbonate and clay, and poor in organic matter, this soil favors wines with a fine texture, good tension, and a natural savory and mineral imprint. The manual harvest, carried out by selecting the best grapes, emphasizes the care given to this label, while vinification in steel and subsequent maturation in wood create a rigorous and harmonious profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOLLEDILÀ 2018 presents itself as an intense and refined Sangiovese, with a deep ruby red color.
