WINEMAKING
In order to obtain the Chianti Piantaferro the traditional method has been chosen as vinification technique of the Sangiovese grapes, consisting of a maceration and fermentation process at a controlled temperature of 24-26° C, daily pumpings over a period of 4 to 6 days depending on the vintage, followed by two long replacements for the following 3-4 day, continued by grape draining and pressing. Once concluded the phases of alcoholic and then malo-lactic fermentation autumnal decanting rites can
be performed.
