Description
The Chianti Classico Riserva by Riecine is an elegant expression of Sangiovese, produced from vineyards situated between 450 and 500 meters in altitude on calcareous and clay soils. The vines are aged between 30 and 40 years and are managed according to ICEA certified organic practices.
The harvest is done manually with a double selection of grapes, first in the vineyard and then on a vibrating sorting table. The fermentation is carried out with whole berries in unlined Nomblot concrete tanks, with a maceration period of 15-20 days. The aging process includes 24 months in large Grenier oak barrels, followed by an additional 3 months of rest in the bottle.
It displays a clear ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of small red fruits such as currants, raspberries, strawberries, and cherries, enriched by earthy, balsamic notes and enveloping spices. On the palate, it is full, fresh, and well savory, with elegant tannins and a persistent fruitiness that enhances its harmony.
Perfect when paired with mushroom risotto, roast and grilled meats, stewed red meat, game, and aged cheeses.
