2007 Chianti Classico DOCG

A deliciously smooth and flavourful Tuscan classic, already showing some elegance despite its youth.

Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red colour; hints of small red fruits and flowers on the nose;
full in flavour with soft tannins, a good structure and persistent finish.

Matching
Great with spaghetti bolognese but also with red meat roasts and meaty mushroom dishes.

Winemaking Notes
100% Sangiovese grapes grown in vineyards at 280 and 400 metres above sea level. Harvest end of September to early October by hand. 20 days of maceration at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C with soft extraction process and frequent punch-downs. Aged for 11 months in a mix of stainless steel, Slavonian oak casks, French barriques and tonneaux of second use.
