LODOLAIO CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA

Lodolaio is born in the ancient cellar of Castelvecchi, under the vaults of the millennial castle, from Sangiovese grapes resulting from the reproduction of a selection of vines of ancient origins, a real company treasure. A unique terroir in the world for its microclimate and soil characteristics at 600 mt at sea level guarantees an excellent result  in terms of balance between power and elegance. 
 Wine Making Process The grapes are handpicked perfectly ripe and the maceration lasts 40 days.  After a first decantation, the wine ages in steel tanks for 6 months and afterwards in big oak barrels for 18 months. The wine then refines in bottle for 4 months to obtain the optimal maturation
