Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Carismante

Colour

Deep ruby red colour with garnet nuances.

Nose

Wine of extraordinary varietal identity, balanced, intense, rich and complex with fruity notes of small red and black fruits and undergrowth, pleasantly spiced with light hints of tobacco and boisé.

Palate

Full, fine and balanced taste with silky, dense and voluminous tannin. Juicy and balanced with a fresh acidity that extends into long and persistent fruity, floral and spicy notes. Deep and elegant finish. The terroir is the master of this wine; its expression is represented by Sangiovese in its purest guise.

After a meticulous green harvest the grapes are collected in small boxes, cooled overnight and then checked on a double sorting table. Fermentation takes place in small steel tanks. After maceration on the skins, the wine is transferred to French fine-grained oak barriques from the best selection where malolactic fermentation takes place.
