95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo. The grapes used to make this company Cru were produced in the area from which it derives its name, where 15 ha of vineyard has always been cultivated, surrounding a hill dominated by an old friary. From 35 to 10 years old vines aged at least 15 months in typical Chianti barrels and tonneaux, then at least 6 months in steel and 1 year in the bottle.
