The Chianti Classico Riserva Cortevecchia it is the most learned expression of the terroir, where the grapes benefit from a plus long aging in wood to develop the typical fragrances of a Chianti Classico in complexity.
THE perfumes they amplify and expand, enriching themselves with elements and fullness. The result is a wine of great territorial and varietal character, with a soft and elegant drinkability, with a texture that cannot be reproduced in lands other than these.
Fermentation takes place in open truncated conical steel tanks, with a semi-automatic punching down system, at a controlled temperature of 28°C for a period of 14 days; the grapes are inoculated with selected indigenous yeasts.
Aging 16/20 months in 27 hL oak barrels. This is followed by a 6-month bottle refinement period.
This classy wine tells the authenticity of Sangiovese from the Chianti Classico hills with a personality that the prolonged aging in wood has tamed to give depth and texture. Thoroughbred, a pulsating profile of unmistakable aromas of violets, black and red berries, balsamic herbs and roots with nuances of cocoa powder. On the palate it has character and persistence, a precise tannic vein with a touch of anisette on the clear presence of the fruit, which makes it almost resinous with fascinating notes of dry mint in the length.
