Retromarcia is a Chianti Classico made from Sangiovese grapes (100%). A large proportion of the grapes come from vineyards composed of shale, limestone and Pietraforte and have an average age of 10 years. Vinification and maturation are reminiscent of a more traditional style of Chianti Classico; fermentation takes place in stainless steel and concrete containers, with skin maceration for up to 45 days, followed by natural malolactic fermentation and maturation in barriques, tonneaux and second- and third-year barrels. The result is a fresh and fruity, medium-bodied, well-balanced wine with a nice structure, juicy acidity and long persistence.
