Organic wine - processing, Torre alle Tolfe, Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva

The Sangiovese grapes for this Chianti Riserva come from a south-facing vineyard. The harvest time for Sangiovese begins at the end of September. During the manual harvest of the grapes, a particularly careful selection of the perfect grapes takes place. Fermentation begins spontaneously with the yeast on the grapes in a large concrete vat. It lasts 30 days at a maximum temperature of 30 ° C. The maturation of the wine, including malolactic fermentation, takes place in 1.000 liter casks made from chestnut wood.
