Vinification (Wine-making)

Method:Only the very best bunches of Sangiovese grown on estate vineyards are picked to produce this Reserve. Poggio Bonelli’s greatest expression of the typical qualities of Chianti Classico. A carefull vinification process lasting 20 days, carried out in keeping with tradition, is followed by lengthy ageing in small, French oak barrels for at least 21 months. After bottling, the wine matures for a further three months prior to its release

Malolactic:yes
