- Vineyard Notes
-
Prenzano is the highest area within the historical core of the vineyard estate, with soils that resemble the particularly sandy soil of the Lamole area. The average age of the vineyards is approximately 20 years. Sangiovese in this area produces fresh wines with a good fruit component and medium structure.

- Harvest Notes
-
The grapes are manually harvested in the Prenzano and Petriolo vineyards, while harvesting machines are used in the Orto and Poggio Asciutto vineyards.

- Winemaking
-
The destemmed grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks, where fermentation and maceration on the skins occur for 10 days. Délestage and pumping over are performed during this period. After racking, the wine is decanted and undergoes malolactic fermentation.

- Ageing
-
Large oak barrels are important for the aging the Terre di Prenzano Chianti Classico. They give Sangiovese the right space to fully express its fruity notes and the freshness that characterises it.
