CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA DOCG ROCCIALTA

90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo
REGION OF ORIGIN: Tuscany
WINEMAKING: After crushing, grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks by selected yeasts. Fermentation temperature is contained within 26-28°C and the must is pumped over its skins twice a day to draw colouring substances and tannins from the skins. After 15 days the wine is separated from the dregs to prevent solubilisation of bitter tannins.
AGEING: Ageing in big oak casks of 30/60 Hl for 14-16 months. Storage in stainless steel tanks until bottling and, after bottling, refinement in bottle for at least 12 months.
ALCOHOL: 13,5% by Vol.
STORAGE: At cellar’s temperature (15-18°C/59-63°F).
SERVING TEMPERATURE:18/20°C
MATCHING: Savoury sausages, roasted meats and game.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES: Deep ruby red colour. The bouquet is fragrant and persistent, with hints of violet and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and dry, slightly tannic and with a persistent aftertaste.
