Colognole - Elegance and longevity of Chianti Rùfina

Located among the splendid DOCG Chianti Rùfina , on the outskirts of Florence, the Colognole farm is a historic business, owned by the Spalletti Trivelli family for generations, which produces extraordinary wines with a strong and recognizable personality . The great attention to innovation , combined with the desire to carry on an important tradition , give life to labels of excellence, which contain the flavors and aromas typical of Tuscany .

Elegant and long-lived wines such as the Chianti Rùfina Collezione , produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes grown at 350 meters above sea level. The nose reveals pleasant hints of violets and red fruit, enriched by well-harmonized notes of wood, deriving from the passage in cask. A full-flavored wine with good structure. Or the Riserva del Don (90 pt Maroni) , a Chianti Rùfina Riserva that ages for 18 months in Slavonian oak and in French Allier oak barrels. With a deep ruby red color and a floral scent of violet and cherry, enriched with spicy and balsamic notes.

Not to forget the Toscana IGT Le Lastre , a blend of Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot, macerated for 12 - 15 days at a controlled temperature of 27 ° with frequent aging. The Sangiovese ages in Slavonian oak barrels for about 1 year, while the Syrah and Merlot age in small Allier oak barrels, half new, for about 10 months. The result is a wine with intense aromas of ripe fruit, almost peppery, with lively hints of raspberry. A fresh and full sip, with a still lively tannicity.

Wines that perfectly tell the culture of the territory and of one of the oldest denominations of Chianti.
