What is Chianti Riserva DOCG from the Colli Aretini?
Chianti Riserva DOCG from Borgunto is a high-end Tuscan red wine, produced exclusively in the Colli Aretini (Arezzo), a recognized subzone of the Chianti denomination. Unlike basic Chianti, the Riserva requires a minimum aging of 24 months in wood and further resting in the bottle, ensuring aromatic complexity, structure, and longevity.
This wine is made from vineyards facing south at an altitude of 300 to 400 meters above sea level, on clay soils rich in minerals, ideal for Sangiovese. The harvest is manual, the winemaking is artisanal, and each phase adheres to the strict regulations of the DOCG standard.
