Wine Chianti Riserva DOCG - Terre del Buontalenti

Chianti Riserva DOCG

Spice, depth and vigour.

COLOUR

Ruby red with luminous beautiful violet glints.

NOSE

Vibrant perfumes of violet and cherry, complemented by red berry fruit characters, raspberry and blueberry. These give way to lightly spiced tertiary aromas of black pepper, cloves, a touch of balsam from the oak ageing, cinnamon, vanilla and graphite.

PALATE

Nicely structured with elegant leather and tobacco notes echoing the nose, the finish is long and complex.

VINIFICATION

The selected grapes are placed in concrete “tulipe” at a controlled temperature by gravity. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and once completed, the wine is left to macerate on the skins for a few days. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously.

AGEING

The wine is aged in large, not toasted barrels for several months and then refined in the bottle.
