Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Castello Banfi

Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Castello Banfi is produced in the Chianti Classico region, located in the heart of Tuscany. This area is characterized by a hilly landscape, with clay and limestone soils that give the wine its distinctive characteristics. The vineyards from which this wine comes are located at an altitude between 150 and 400 meters above sea level, enjoying a Mediterranean climate with significant temperature ranges between day and night. From an agronomic point of view, the vineyards are cultivated mainly with native grape varieties such as Sangiovese, with possible additions of varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Agronomic management is attentive to environmental sustainability, with cultivation practices that respect the surrounding ecosystem. The production process of Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Castello Banfi follows strict oenological rules established by the production regulations. After manual harvesting, the grapes are carefully selected and subjected to traditional vinification, with temperature-controlled fermentation. Subsequently, the wine is aged in oak barrels of various sizes for a period of at least 24 months, followed by an additional period of bottle aging before being marketed. This production and aging process helps give Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Castello Banfi the complexity and elegance typical of great Tuscan wines, fully expressing the character of the terroir from which it comes.
