Appellation
Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva
Grapes Varieties
Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero.
Vineyards of provenance
“Il Prato” and “Le Masse” vineyards aged between 6 and 74 years, located in Lamole, in the commune of Greve in Chianti, at an altitude between 470m and 655m.
Terrain
Sandstone containing galestro (schistous clay) and macigno toscano, with insertions of alberese (limestone).
Breeding system
Spurred Codon and Chianti Arch. Plant density: 3.300 – 5.200 vine per hectare.
Grapes harvest period
From the end of September to after mid-October.
Vinification
The bunches, underwent optical berry selection. After delicate pressing, the must began fermentation, with maceration on the skins for approximately 12 days at a temperature of 24-26°C as well as periodic pumping over and délestage in order to obtain optimum extraction of the anthocyanins and tannins. During the following spring, the wine was put into 30-50 hectoliter casks to mature for at least two years prior to the final assemblage and bottling.
Organoleptic form
Its deep ruby red color acts as a prelude to scents of wild red berry fruits and floral aromas of violets and broom, as well as balsamic hints and those of underbrush. Its development on the palate is harmonious yet incisive, more dynamic than muscular, and more mineral than tangy, with fine-grained tannins and lively freshness sustaining the tight, elegant fruit. The aromatic finish is deliciously persistent.
Gastronomic combinations
Not only the usual Fiorentina steak or rosticciana of pork. Our Riserva has energy and intensity in spades, and can be paired magnificently with oven-baked vegetable dishes, as well as with game, offal, and braised or stewed meats; if necessary, it can stand up to the aromatic force of truffles or that of very mature cheeses.
