Typical wines of the so-called "Alto Chianti" and easily recognizable for the composite elegance of their bouquet referable not only to the microclimate of the area, but also to the very particular clonal selection carried out by the farm which led to the rediscovery and re-grafting of ancient autochthonous Sangiovese strains.
