Fossivento Chianti Classico DOCG

Colour

Intense ruby red with light garnet hues.

Nose

Wine with a marked territorial identity, fruity notes, red fruits, cherries, marasca cherries, inserted in  oral and violet scents; savory and mineral hints, integrated with fresh spices and medicinal herbs

Palate

Balanced and concrete tannin, crunchy, married with a fresh acidity that extends into a long fruity and spicy persistence.

The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates, cooled overnight and then checked on the double sorting table. Fermentation is spontaneous with its own indigenous yeasts and takes place both in terracotta amphorae and in small steel tanks. A er maceration on the skins, the wine is decanted into barriques and partly into amphorae where the malolactic fermentation takes place.

Elevation

It is then aged in French oak barriques and in terracotta amphorae for 16 months.
Refine in glass for a minimum of 3 months before being placed on the market.
