This Chianti Colli Senesi of the Fattoria del Cerro is mainly produced with Sangiovese grapes to which a small percentage of Merlot grapes is added in order to make it fuller and softer. Immediately after the harvest, the wine begins to ferment in steel at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C, carrying out daily pumping over. Then it continues with the refinement in contact with the skins for a duration of at least 4 months. The wine is then transferred to barrique for 3 months before being bottled.
