A bottle of great longevity from one of the most famous wine regions in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vallepicciola Quercegrosse comes from a single vineyard called Poggione, located 400 meters above sea level and planted on soils characterized by great diversity and exposed to the southwest. The soils are predominantly clayey and calcareous, with the presence of galestro and alberese, the typical rocks of this subzone of Chianti Classico, where Merlot finds its best expression. The grapes are hand-picked around the second half of September and vinified in stainless steel tanks, with macerations of about 25 days.
