Chianti Classico
VOLPAIA
YEAR: 2017
Record year for heat and drought, in which both the spring and summer months were characterized by higher than average temperatures and very little rainfall, resulting in poor vegetation development and reduced fructification.
The harvest was early and production was particularly poor; a vintage that I would define as unique.
