It is made from Sangiovese grapes, with a small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva DOCG is the product of grapes harvested in the vineyards of Farnetella, in the municipality of Sinalunga, spread over a wide and well-exposed hillside at an altitude between 400 and 470 metres above sea level. At the end of vinification, between March and April following the harvest, part of the mass, about 50%, is transferred to medium-sized barrels and second and third passage barriques. This completes the maturation of the wine after about 12-16 months, followed by blending and bottling. At that point, before going on sale, the wine rests for at least another 6 months in the cellar. Intense ruby red in colour with light violet hues, the nose is dominated by aromas of ripe blackberry and blueberry, with clear floral notes of aniseed and Mediterranean scrub. On top of all this, there are hints of minerals and a pleasant toasting in the background. In the mouth it reveals an excellent drinkability, with soft tannins, good acidity and structure. The finish is long and enveloping, with notes of black cherry and light vanilla.
