ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The winemaking technicians of the renowned Banfi winery use the traditional Chianti grape variety for the vinification of Chianti Superiore DOCG, with a strong predominance of Sangiovese, coming from their own vineyards located in the hilly area of ​​the southern slope of the Municipality of Montalcino. The production technique involves fermentation with traditional maceration which is carried out on average for a short period never exceeding 8 days, and takes place at a temperature between 25 and 30°C. When alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is complete, 4 or 5 months of aging in French oak barriques follow. The evolution ends only after an appropriate refinement in the bottle.
