Buriano is another of the historical grape production areas. The aspect and typicality of the typically Chianti soil, with surface Galestro stone and limestone, make it an area that is particularly suitable for lengthy, complex ripening on the vine. The terrain’s brightness, ventilation and high-ground location make it highly suitable for Grand Cru production.
