The vineyards that produce the grapes for the Brolio label are located from 280 to 480 meters above sea level. Vineyard soils vary greatly, but all are strewn with stony fragments adding mineral richness. This exalts the structure of the Chianti Classico vintage.

Intense ruby red colour. Complex aromas of iris and violets, red fruit and balsamic scents. Soft, elegant and well-smoothed tannins in the mouth. A true expression of the territory with well-balanced acidity and mineral tannins, before finishing long.

Volpetto's Riserva is made 100% from their best hand-selected Sangiovese grapes.

IL Volpetto Chianti Riserva has a highly concentrated bouquet. Well structured and full-bodied, the tannins are well-integrated giving a smooth, yet complex wine with a deep intensity of fruit and a powerful, long finish. Ideal with game and mature cheeses.

IL Volpetto Chianti is well structured and full bodied, lively and intense, made from a blend of mainly Sangiovese, with a small percentage of Canaiolo. To be served with red meats, roasts, pasta with meat sauce and cheese.
