Chianti Riserva DOCG

“Vigna delle Conchiglie”

Appellation: Chianti Riserva DOCG
Grape Variety: Sangiovese

Vinification & Tasting Notes

Vinification: The selected grapes are placed in 16hl concrete “tulipee” at controlled temperature with gravity flow system with 20% whole bunches. 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. The wine is aged in untoasted 16.5hl barrels, to then be bottled without any clarification and aged in the bottle for a few months.
Tasting Notes: Light medium garnet color. Delicate floral aromas are combined with aromas of red and black berried fruits, especially cherries and currants are enhanced. Elegant, pleasantly fresh hints of undergrowth that combine with light notes of leather and tobacco. Refined structure, silky and well defined with a beautiful persistence in the mouth.
