Authentic Gigliolino Winery
Chianti
Grapes
Sangiovese (85%), Canaiolo and Colorino (15%).
Vinification
Well-ripened grapes are harvested and then undergo on-skin fermentation and maceration for approximately 15 days. The wine is then fermented at a controlled temperature of 28-29 ¾C.
Délestage and pump-overs are performed frequently in order to extract as much color as possible from the grapes, while preserving the intense and long lasting characteristics of the fruit. The wine is matured until March in thermally controlled oaks.
Sensory Qualities
The wine is ruby red in color, extremely trasnparent and has an excellent consistency wich is cleary visible in the lively refractions it leaves on the glass. The wine´s graceful intensity and long-lasting nose are characterized by fruity notes of cherry followed by delicate spicy notes. The wine´s approach is strong and decisive, with hints of enveloping, but rather mild and reticent tannins. The flavor is extremely agreeable and intense and the finish is long. The wine has a superb and extremely delicated flavor and aroma structure.
This is a young wine that should be consumed immediately.
Serving Suggestions
An excellent accompaniment for all light, white-meat dishes as well as for all pasta dishes. Serve at 18¾C.
