Product Details
Lapina Gran Selezione is produced exclusively from the finest Sangiovese grapes harvested from its namesake vineyard located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.
Vintage: Classic vintage. Spring rains allowed the creation of significant water reserves, suitable for a moderately hot summer characterized by reduced rainfall. On average, harsher and wetter weather in the first half of the year slightly delayed the vine’s growing cycle compared to recent years, with a cadence of timing reminiscent of the great vintages of the 1980s. A hot but regular summer, with no particular heat spikes or heavy rainfall, was followed by a September characterized by fine weather and large temperature ranges, which allowed for perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes.
Harvest: First decade of October, grapes coming from Lapina vineyards; 6.5 tons of yield per hectare.
