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.

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.
