Leguminous plants grown between the rows nourish our vines, the breeze and sunlight protect them from diseases and patient waiting guarantees the perfect health and ripeness of the grapes. A natural balance and age-old traditions are the secret of the Cedro, a Chianti Rufina with a big personality and which expresses the characteristics of this appellation, also known as “the greatest of Chiantis”.

• Vineyard : Southern exposure
• Harvest : Hand-picked in crates before mid-October.
• Vinification : Delicate destemming of the grapes; temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration in stainless steel for about 10 days, with several pump-overs.
• Maturation : In 35 hl French oak barrels for about 12 months. Then at least another 6 months in bottle.
• Grape varieties : Sangiovese – Canaiolo – Ciliegiolo
• Alcohol content : 13,5%
• Tasting notes : Intense and bright ruby red colour. Notes of undergrowth and small berries open the bouquet accompanied by notes of dry rose and violet. On the palate, notes of lightly toasted spices and leather give a sense of fullness. The taste is dry, savoury, but with soft and compact tannins. The finish is of good persistence with a nice acidity that characterises the Rufina area.
• Pairing : In its early years, this wine goes well with all foods and as it ages, it is delicious with sauced meats, poultry and roasts.
• Serving temperature : 18°
