The 2018 season in Chianti Classico opened with a fairly regular winter in terms of both temperatures and rainfall; despite these weather conditions, the vineyards began their budding activity a week earlier than the historical average for the area. The spring period, and in particular May, was characterized by frequent rains with temperatures slightly lower than usual, while the months of June and July were dry and quite warm, but without ever showing extreme conditions. Some rain in August and a dry and windy period in September and October allowed the grapes to ripen ideally, ensuring good sugar content and excellent polyphenolic ripening. The harvest began around mid-September.

Excellent with grilled meat, grilled sausages, Tuscan ribollita.
