Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie on steep slopes in Greve in Chianti, at the heart of the hilly Chianti region of central Tuscany. Sandy soils, cool nights and a long growing season encourage an aromatic, elegant expression.
Grapes
90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vinification
After delicate crushing, the must macerates on the skins for 1–2 weeks to extract colour and other polyphenolic compounds.
Ageing
Nine months in small and large barrels.
Tasting profile
Deep ruby red. Aromas of ripe cherries and red plums are joined by toasted vanilla and purple flowers. The palate is strongly structured, with bright acidity and a pleasantly savoury finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 18 °C. Pair with charcuterie, meatballs in tomato sauce, grilled meat or pappardelle with truffles.
Production
Production area: Greve in Chianti, Tuscany. Winemaker: Elisabetta Matteini.
