Hand Bottling


Today was my first day at Guido’s farm in Poppiano! We bottled 600 bottles of the 2008 Chianti Riserva by hand.





I was in charge of filling the bottles directly from the oak barrel

  1. Did you fill all 600 bottles yourself? And, Is this a Chianti we can purchase in Houston? Or do I have to wait until I get to Italy to have a glass.
