The 2018 (1,500) CHIANTI CLASSICO Riserva from TENUTA CASENUOVE is a still red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy. This DOCG stands out for its refined expression of Sangiovese, cultivated in three vineyards dedicated to the reserve. The marine-origin soil, rich in calcareous clays and multicoloured schists, contributes to giving the wine an elegant and complex structure, enhanced by careful vinification that preserves the integrity of the grapes. Vintage: 2018 Grapes: 100% Sangiovese 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 reveals, 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 multifaceted, ranging from the floral varietal characteristics of the mammola to the notes of ripe red and black fruit with 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. Soil: A mix of marine-origin calcareous 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 dedicated to the 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.

It pairs well with moments…
