Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2012 Castello di Gabbiano
Description
The Chianti Classico Riserva di Castello di Gabbiano was born in vineyards located in the heart of the Chianti Classico DOCG.
It is produced with Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, carefully picked and selected by hand. Fermentation takes place with long maceration on the skins, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation in wood. Subsequently the wine ages for 14 months in French oak barrels and barriques, and finally in the bottle before being marketed.
The Chianti Classico Riserva of Castello di Gabbiano has a ruby red color with a purple nail. The nose opens with intense hints of ripe red fruit, enriched with notes of black pepper and coffee. On the palate it is fresh and savory, the tannin is found but it blends well, resulting sweet and persistent in the finish.
Perfect to accompany red meats, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
