Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione “Stielle” 2017
Grape/Blend: 100% Sangiovese – Evidence of vine cultivation dates back to deeds deposited by former owners in 1153.
Wine-making Process: 10-23 days skin maceration. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in steel. At least 18 months in tonneaux and large barrels; assembly in large barrels and further maturation for 4 months. Then at least 12 months of bottle aging.
Tasting Notes: Clear hints of small ripe red berries. The spicy and balsamic notes due to the passage in wood are well-integrated, leaving space to the characteristic features of Sangiovese. On the palate it is full-bodied and potent with good acidity and enveloping, crunchy tannins that make the wine elegant and easy to drink. Fresh, lingering finish. The wine undergoes very wide filtration: this can lead to a natural sediment in the bottle that does not affect the wine’s sensory profile.
