Harvest is started!

Like every year, in the period between September and October, in Piè di Costa is usual to harvest. Piè di Costa is an estate of 12 hectares cultivated with Chianti vineyards and olive groves.
This year, a sunny climate and high temperature, - in particular during the months of June, July and August - has advantaged the growing of grapes with an excellent level of sugar (from which depends alcoholic degrees) in addiction to a general high quality.
This period, is one of the most important in the coutrylife, and represent for our guests, an unique opportunity to experience the production of Chianti wine. As said from some of our guests, they have enjoyed to help Andrea and his staff in grape-picking.
