Description and technical sheet
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Vigna del Sorbo by Fontodi is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the eponymous vineyard, trained using the Guyot system. This vineyard, located in a south-west facing position, is home to vines that are over 40 years old. During red winemaking, alcoholic fermentation was initiated using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, where the must macerated with the skins for three weeks. The wine then matured for 24 months in new Troncais and Allier barriques.
CHIANTI CLASSICO GRAN SELEZIONE RISERVA VIGNA DEL SORBO FONTODI: Tasting Notes
Fontodi's Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Vigna del Sorbo presents in the glass with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe red berries, violet, and aromatic herbs, followed by hints of cocoa powder, graphite, and enveloping notes of oriental spices. On the palate, it is soft and elegant, supported by silky tannins and a long, balsamic, and spicy finish. It pairs beautifully with aged cheeses as well as structured meat dishes, particularly those based on red meats or game.
