Following a careful fermentation designed to preserve fruit clarity, the wine ages for approximately 18 to 24 months in 500-liter French oak barrels before undergoing extended bottle refinement. Low-intervention handling and rigorous grape selection ensure the pure, vibrant personality of high-altitude Tuscan terroir shines in every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy we love this producer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFattoria I Veroni is an ancient Tuscan estate with winemaking heritage stretching back to the 16th century, thoughtfully restored and family-run by the Malesci family. Situated in Chianti Rufina northeast of Florence, the estate benefits from dramatic day-to-night temperature swings that yield fresh, bright Sangiovese with unmatched depth. We admire their dedication to single-vineyard parcel crafting and organic stewardship, delivering authentic Tuscan soul without aggressive oak manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSustainability \u0026amp; Farming Practices\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/b\u003e Officially Certified Organic estate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVineyard Practices:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-harvesting all fruit, managing soil fertility through cover cropping, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, and maintaining local woodland biodiversity across their high-elevation terraces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"I Veroni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54569689186651,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/6274\/8751\/files\/i-veroni-chianti-rufina-riserva-gran-cru-quona-docg-5849759.jpg?v=1793401748","url":"https:\/\/grapeandbean.ie\/products\/i-veroni-chianti-rufina-riserva-gran-cru-quona-docg","provider":"Grape \u0026 Bean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
