Dedicated to Calidonia Sergardi, who married Girolamo Bindi, creating the indissoluble union between the two families. This wine is a sign of gratitude to the family’s past. It is also an excellent expression of Mocenni’s terroir and of Chianti Classico Riserva.

Flowering was good and homogenous thanks to the absence of rain and good temperatures; also the fruit-set was good with no presence of millerandage. Harvest 2019 was early October with a perfect ripeness and excellent quality.Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats where maceration lasts about 18/20 days.
