Toscana wine region around Florence in central Italy is home to the Chianti region, which is famous for Sangiovese-based red wines.
The soils in Toscana are formed from Pliocene and Pleistocene marine sediments, and from Quaternary alluvial and lacustrine deposits. The region is quite hilly, progressing inward to the Apennine Mountains.
The soils composition lie mostly on clay, with a great level of nutrients and organic matter.
The fermentation of the grapes is spontaneous with the use of indigenous yeast. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins lasted from 10 to 20 days, depending on the individual lots. Malolactic fermentation took place in large, Slavonian oak casks.
It is aged for 5 months in oak and a minimum of 3 months in the bottle.
