Description and technical sheet
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Vigna del Sorbo di Fontodi is born from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in guyot style in the vineyard of the same name, facing South-West and characterized by vines over 40 years old. During the red vinification, alcoholic fermentation was activated thanks to indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks where the must maceration on the skins took place for 3 weeks. The aging process lasted for 24 months in new Troncais and Alliers barriques.
CHIANTI CLASSICO GRAN SELEZIONE RISERVA VIGNA DEL SORBO FONTODI: TASTING NOTES
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Vigna del Sorbo di Fontodi appears in the glass with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe red berries, violet, and aromatic herbs chased by hints of cocoa powder and graphite, along with enveloping notes of oriental spices. The taste is soft and elegant, supported by silky tannins and a long balsamic and spicy finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses as well as structured meat dishes, especially those based on red meats or game.
