Concrete fermentation is not nostalgia for Il Principe — it’s a choice. Concrete breathes and regulates temperature without imparting any aroma of its own, so the Sangiovese works without interference; a touch of Ciliegiolo softens the tannin and keeps the wine easy to drink. Bright ruby red with early garnet hues, fresh cherry and violet, no oak notes at all. Ready from its first months in bottle, best enjoyed within three to four years to catch its freshness — a Chianti authentic in the most literal sense.
