Chianti Classico Riserva Docg 2019

Region: 
Producer: 
Grape Variety: 
100% Sangiovese
Tasting Note: 
Crafted from Riecine’s Gittori vineyard in the commune of Gaiole-in-Chianti, this south-facing, terraced slope sits at 500 metres above sea level and was planted in 1971. After a natural cold maceration, the must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and is then aged in large casks. This wine is elegantly composed and fragrant, with a distinct earthy, fresh herb and stone personality. It demonstrates impressive precision throughout, with firmly assertive tannins giving ageworthy structure. There’s a touch of resinous wood but this should smooth out with another year in the bottle.
Vinification: 
The estate owns 15 hectares and produces around 70,000 bottles using Organic Viticulture.
