This top class Chianti is made using the best selection of Sangiovese grapes from the Vigna di Sessina vineyard, part of the Dievole property. The fossil-rich soil, originating from a sandstone known as “Macigno”, bestows the wine with a unique elegance and freshness. It is aged for 17 month in untoasted French oak barrels followed by a further 12 months in the bottle before it is released.

It is deep ruby red in colour with subtle garnet highlights. The bouquet is intense with aromas of ripe red fruit and subtle hints of dried violet. The nose also boasts spiced fragrances. The palate is very elegant with a notable freshness that is paired with excellent, mature tannins, boasting depth and is pleasing to the senses. Fresh, well balanced with a long finish.
