Time has formed the vines, giving them their unique shape, and more importantly, optimal balance in production. The perfect ingredients create a Riserva of great character and complexity, whose noble origins are represented by the property’s age-old cedar tree, whose name it bears.

• Denomination : D.O.C.G Chianti Rufina
• Vineyard : Southern exposure – old vines
• Harvest : Hand-picked in crates around mid-October.
• Vinification : Delicate destemming of the grapes; temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration in steel tanks for about 15 days with several pump-overs.
• Maturation : In oak barrels of 35 hl for about 12 months. Then a refinement in the bottle for at least 6 months.
• Grape varieties : Sangiovese – Merlot
• Alcohol content : 14% – 14,5%
• Tasting notes : Intense and bright ruby red colour. The nose is well-balanced with elements of spice and black fruit that develop. The Sangiovese appears immediately in all its greatness, soft and velvety, with hints of ripe black cherry and a touch of cassis. The tannins are well blended, dense and fleshy. The finish is elegant and persistent. An excellent wine for ageing.
• Pairing : In its early years, this wine goes well with all dishes and when aged, it pairs well with roasts, wild game and cheeses.
• Serving temperature : 18°-20°
