The Riserva journey starts in the vineyard: the best grapes come from deeply rooted plants that struggle to get water and nutrients from the sun-scorched soil. The wine is then aged in large old oak barrels (botti) gaining its unique and memorable flavour. Authentic, elegant, and amazingly food-friendly, Aiola Riserva is a true expression of the Tuscan hills and winding hills.
