Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione “Vigna il Corno”

Chianti Classico DOCG – Vigna “Il Corno” Gran Selezione is produced in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The vines are located 400 meters above sea level with southern and south-eastern exposure. This good exposure and the low production yields promote good ripening of the bunches.

Winemaking
The freshly hand-picked grapes are then crushed and destemmed before fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a capacity of 50 hl. The grapes then spend the next four weeks macerating on the skins. The malolactic fermentation then takes place in new barrels with a capacity of 5 hl, and the wine spends about five months on its fine lees. Finally, aging continues in the same barrels for twenty months, then in the bottle for at least twelve months.
