Soil: The vines of this hilly area are situated at an average height of 250-400mt a.s.l., in a continental - but not excessively hot - climate. The combined characteristics of the climate, height and soil make the Chianti Classico area particularly suitable for high quality wine production.

Vinification: The very best grapes from the harvest are destined to form this important wine, and during maceration they yield the polyphenols and noble tannins which give the wine consistency and balance. The Riserva is a richly structured wine suited to long maturation and can only be called a Riserva if it reaches an alcohol content of 12.5% after a minimum ageing period of 24 months (at least 3 in the bottles). Obviously only the best vintages yielding perfectly formed grapes can result in well-structured wines suitable for ageing.
