Interesting Facts
The wine comes from the vineyards overlooked by a small Romanesque church called "Badiòla" in the municipality of Radda in Chianti. The vineyards are among the highest in all of Chianti Classico and are distinguished by a particularly cool climate. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks. Aging is in 500-liter French oak barrels for 16 months. The wine has a storage potential of over 20 years.
