2006 was a year characterized by a good supply of spring rains. The high temperatures registered at the beginning of the summer were succeeded in August by frequent rains and low temperatures in respect to average levels. In the second half of August the temperature raised again and the sunny days helped the grapes to reach a good sugar level. 

Harvesting began during the first week of October and the thermal variations between day and night (13-15°C) were favourable and assured the safeguarding and maintenance of the aromatic components of the grapes, creating the conditions to obtain wines with a good structure and full of primary aromas. The fermentation lasted for 18 days, with daily pumping over. The wine refined in 30 and 50 hl wood casks for a period of 10 months and it was bottled in June 2008. We produced 66.000 bottles.

“ The 2006 Chianti Classico (90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo) reveals a soft core of red fruits in a generous, engaging style ideal for near-term drinking. Sweet mentholated, floral notes give the wine an attractive sense of lift on the finish. ”
