Chianti Classico Riserva LODOLAIO DOCG CASTELVECCHI

From pure Sangiovese grapes, this red wine from the Castelvecchi Winery is born, whose name derives from the bird of prey that watches over the Castelvecchi vineyards. The grapes come from the best vineyards, in particular from plants of very ancient origin located in a terroir unique in the world due to its microclimate and peculiarities of the soil. Once the manual harvest is over, the grapes are placed in the cellar for the first pressing and maceration of 35-45 days. After an initial decantation, the wine ages in French oak barriques for 12 months. This is followed by a steel stop before bottling. Final aging in the bottle until optimal matility.
