Nose

The nose shows fruity and floral notes together with spices and incense.

Palate

Soft, elegant and well structured. Freshness, complexity, graceful and silky tannins are the result of a careful selection of sangiovese grapes growing on Alberese and Galestro soils. This wine is vibrant and has a long and persistent aftertaste. It is an excellent expression of Mocenni’s terroir and of Chianti Classico Riserva.

Growing Conditions

Winemaking

Fermentation of the sangiovese grapes takes place in stainless steel vats where maceration lasts about 18/20 days at a controlled temperature of 28/30°C. Shortly after alcoholic fermentation, the wine is transferred into barrels of 42 HL where malolactic fermentation takes place. The estate bottled wine then remains stored in the cellar for further refinement.

Appearance

Intense ruby red color.

Food Pairing

Traditional accompaniments are red meat (both roasts and salted), game, and mature cheeses. Mediterranean first courses.
