CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA DI FIZZANO

Chianti Classico Riserva D.O.C.G.

Arriving at the Riserva di Fizzano estate and finding yourself in front of 35 hectares of highly specialized vineyards with an enviable south-westerly exposure, featuring highly ordered rows that work their way across sinuous hillsides, it is easy to understand why 'Chiantishire' is renowned the world over

This is the evocative backdrop against which we harvest the grapes that will be used to produce one of our two Riserva di Chianti Classico wines. Riserva di Fizzano – 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet and 5% Merlot, sourced exclusively from the vineyards on our estate – was launched in 1988 as the winery's first cru

Grape varietals

Production Technique

Grapes are cultivated exclusively in the vineyards of the Fizzano estate, an area that is particularly suited for high-quality winemaking. After fermentation most of the wine matures in 35hl French oak barrels, while a small proportion is aged in 225-liter barriques. After the blending the wine rest in the bottle for another year
