PRODUCT INFORMATION

Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baroncole is made from 97% Sangiovese and 3% Canaiolo grapes. The initial stages of its production are the same as for our Chianti Classico. Then the wine is aged in cask and barrels of French for a period varying from 16 to 20 months, according to the vintage. It is then bottled and stored for a further six months. Le Baroncole is a wine of long ageing potential.

Little rain during spring and summer; very high temperature for about ten days at the beginning of August.
Over 150 mm of rain from the 6th to the 15th of September were beneficil in restoring adequate soil moisture and in rehydrating the grapes, which, henceforth, reverted to a
more regular ripening course and eventually attained a satisfactory fenolic content. Thinning out was effected in two stages, resulting in aprox. 20% total reduction of
fruit load per vine, with the aim of countering some uneveness in ripening. Strict manual selection, both on-field while harvesting and at the processing plant on
the conveyor trays, was needed, in order to get rid of berries damaged by excessive heat and sun exposure.
The ensuing wine attained a noteworthy concentration and a satisfactory acidity level.
