The 2019 (3,000) CHIANTI CLASSICO Riserva Wooden Case from TENUTA CASENUOVE is an excellent quality red wine, produced in the renowned region of Tuscany, Italy. This Chianti Classico DOCG is born from a careful selection of grapes, cultivated on a complex soil characterised by marine-origin limestone clays, multicoloured schists known as "Galestro" and sandstones, which give the wine a unique and deep structure. Vinification takes place using traditional methods in raw concrete tanks, preserving the integrity of the grapes and enhancing the authentic character of Sangiovese. Vintage: 2019 Alcohol content: 14.5 Harvest/Vintage: The grapes are selected first by the harvesters in the vineyard, then upon arrival at the winery, they undergo a double sorting phase, first of the bunches and then of the individual grapes. Organoleptic notes: The 2018 reserve already displays, at the first swirl in the glass, a pedigree worthy of high-quality Sangiovese, characterised by a very intense, deep and brilliant ruby red. The aromatic range offered to the taster's nose is rich and very multifaceted, ranging from the floral varietal characteristics of the mammola to notes of ripe red and black fruit of considerable depth. On the palate, a note of marasca cherry emerges with a return of black blueberry. The sip is full and enveloping, elegant and sinuous, very appealing. Soil: A mix of marine-origin limestone clays (dating back to the Cretaceous-Oligocene) with the presence of outcrops of multicoloured schists, locally called "Galestro" and sandstones resulting from the disintegration of the "Macigno del Chianti" complex. Vineyard: 3 vineyards designated for Reserve Vinification/Aging: Vinification takes place in unglazed concrete tanks (raw concrete, no epoxy paints) filled by gravity, gently guiding the grapes into the tank, without the use of mechanical pumps that compromise the integrity of the grape. Yield per hectare: 40 hl/hectare This Chianti Classico Riserva represents a refined choice for those wishing to explore the traditional wines of Tuscany with a strong character and a well-defined aromatic complexity. Ideal to accompany meat dishes and aged cheeses.
