Chianti Classico DOCG 2009 Castello di Cacchiano

The Chianti Classico of Castello di Cacchiano was born in vineyards located in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti, on the top of a gentle hill in the heart of the green Chianti hills.

It is mainly produced with Sangiovese and Canaiolo, Malvasia Nera and Colorino grapes, harvested only by hand during the first weeks of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine ages in the same containers for 24 months before being bottled.

It is characterized by a ruby red color. The nose opens with fruity hints of plum, cherry and raspberry, enriched with pleasant spicy notes of licorice and leather. On the palate it is fresh, pleasantly soft and persistent.

Perfect to accompany dishes with meat sauce and mushrooms, it is ideal in combination with risotto, stewed meat and roasts.
