The Last Days of Summer in the Heart of Chianti Classico

🌿 The Magic of Late August

There’s a unique atmosphere in Chianti Classico at the end of summer. The days are still bright, but the evenings turn cooler, and the vineyard feels filled with anticipation.

At Montemaggio, the grapes are reaching the final stage of their cycle: clusters have deepened in color, skins are thickening, and aromas are becoming more complex. But it’s not harvest time yet — for us, picking begins only at the end of September, when nature signals perfect ripeness.

🍇 A Time for Care and Observation

These transitional weeks are dedicated to small but important tasks:

• Checking the ripening of the berries.

• Monitoring the health of leaves and clusters.

• Preparing the team and cellar for the most awaited time of the year.

It’s a quiet pause before the rhythm of harvest begins.

✨ Waiting as Part of the Beauty

Wine is never the result of haste.
Each season teaches patience, and these late summer days remind us that authenticity comes from respecting nature’s rhythm.

Among Montemaggio’s vines, late August is not just another page on the calendar: it’s a moment to live slowly, with eyes on the future and heart immersed in the present beauty.
