Description
Riecine's Chianti Classico Riserva is an elegant expression of Sangiovese, produced from vineyards located between 450 and 500 meters above sea level on limestone and clay soils. The vines are 30 to 40 years old.
The harvest is done manually with a double selection of the grapes, first in the vineyard and then on a vibrating sorting table. Fermentation takes place with whole berries in unlined Nomblot cement vats, followed by maceration for 15-20 days. The wine ages for 24 months in large Grenier oak barrels, followed by a further 3 months of bottle rest.
It shows a clear ruby red color with garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers 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 savory, with elegant tannins and a persistent fruitiness that enhances its harmony.
Perfect paired with mushroom risotto, roast and grilled meats, braised red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
