Terroir: The Rancia vineyards are located at an altitude of approximately 400 meters, in soil rich in galestro (marl) and alberese (limestone). This soil gives the wine a mineral character and refined tannins, ideal for aging. The vines, cultivated with extreme care and selection, benefit from the varied climate of the Chianti region, with hot summers and cool nights that favor balanced grape ripening.

Vinification: Vinification takes place with temperature-controlled fermentation in steel, followed by aging in oak barrels for approximately 18-24 months. This process allows the wine to develop aromatic complexity and tannic structure, making it perfect for long aging potential.
