CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA CASTELLO DI MONSANTO 2021 DESCRIPTION

The Chianti Classico Riserva by Castello di Monsanto is another great wine from this prestigious Tuscan winery gives us year after year, harvest after harvest. It 'a fragrant Chianti Riserva, with a good style on the palate, with a closing that remembers and recalls the veiled inflections plant. It borns from a blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino grown in vineyards offering bunches suitable for long aging; vinification is the classic one with a maceration which lasts for 20 days and a refinement that continues for approximately 18 months in wood smaller than the second passage.

A period in which the Chianti Riserva del Castello di Monsanto grows structure and elegance, where her bouquet become broader and more complex and then ranges from blackberries blueberries, and vegetables with balsamic nuance on the finish. The taste is full-bodied and balanced fruity, with a closure that gives tannins intense, but very fine and veiled. A bastion of the typical Chianti, a wine that is a perfect expression of the territory and that it shows characteristics of longevity really amazing.
