From the selection of the best Sangiovese grapes comes a wine of rare elegance, structure and personality, with an extraordinary finesse and ability to evolve over time. This Chianti Classico takes its name from one of the company's historic vineyards located on the Paronza hill, in Castellina in Chianti.

Aging
18 months in French oak barriques, 6 months in 50 hl Slavonian oak barrels followed by al least 12 months in the bottle.

Terroir
20-year-old vineyards located in Castellina in Chianti on clayish soil. Spurred cordon training system.

Vinification
A 15-days-long fermentation on the skins in controlled-temperature cement tanks plus 5 days maceration after the fermentation. 

Tasting Notes
An important and austere wine, with great structure and personality. It has a ruby red color with intense garnet reflections; on the nose it opens with hints of cherry and vanilla notes; on the palate it is powerful, tannic and dry with an aftertaste of blackberries and sweet tobacco. 

Pairing
Important dishes of red meat or game, long-aged cheeses.
