Terroir: The grapes are grown in the heart of the Chianti Classico region on calcareous-clay soils mixed with stone, which give the wine a distinctive mineral character and good tannic structure. The climatic conditions of the area, with hot summers and cool nights, favor balanced ripening of the grapes.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo traditional vinification with fermentation in steel, followed by brief aging in oak barriques for approximately 9 months, which contributes to developing the wine's aromatic complexity without overwhelming the Sangiovese profile.
