Tasting note
Chianti practically bubbling with ripe plums and cherries, softly mineral with a long, intriguingly peppery finish.
Viticulture
The production area is located within the hilly zones in Vinci, Cerreto Guidi and surrounding areas of Tuscany. The wine is made from 85% Sangiovese grapes, 10% Merlot and an additional 5% of other mixed varietals for extra complexity.
Vinification
After a gentle crushing and pressing, grape juice is fermented for approximately 8 days, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C. Frequent and gentle pumping over during this extracts a good amount of colour and tannin, ensuring great structure in the wine. Around 15% of the wine is barrel aged for 6 months to add complexity.
Food Match
Ideal when matched with crostini, especially topped with mushrooms or chicken livers. Also delicious with classic baked pasta dishes such as lasagne.
