Description
Chianti Classico Riserva Cortevecchia is the most polished expression of the territory, where the Sangiovese grape benefit from a long aging in wood to develop the classic, complex aromas of a Chianti Classico.
The fragrances are given time to expand, enrich, and grow. The result is a wine that perfectly expresses the variety and territory, smooth and elegant with an irreproducible texture when grown in other areas.
Winemaking and Aging
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in open conical steel tanks, with a semi-automatic fulling 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 oak casks 0f 27 hL. A 6-month aging period in bottle follows.
Tasting Notes
Chianti Classico Riserva has a serious and austere shape, thanks to the longest maturation in wood. A painting with the bright brushstrokes of spices and dark fruits on a oaky background. An intense wine: ruby tones with the floral traits of violet and wild rose, eucalyptus and resins, and deep notes of licorice root and dark plums. The palate shows the throbbing character of Sangiovese, heated with iridescent tannin and acidity. The finish is long and progressive, with pretty layers of soft tobacco, and the energy of fruit that will express over time.
Pairing
Quails in a pan with braised polenta crust.
