Description
2017 was an extreme vintage that will be remembered for being the hottest and driest vintage we ever had in Tuscany. After a cold winter with less rainfall than usual spring and summer were very dry. We practically didnt have any rainfall from the end of April until the harvest in our Chianti Classico vineyards. Temperatures were for prolonged periods very hot. Because of this the total grape quantities were reduced by 30-40%. We picked the healthy and ripe grapes of our Villa Rosa vineyards at the end of August and the grapes at Nittardi in the beginning of September. Since 2017 all our vineyards Maremma and Chianti Classico are certified organic. Rich ruby-red color, juicy cherry, raspberry and spicy aromas with hints of Mediterranean herbs and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with soft and juicy tannins on the palate and a rich and powerful finish. Excellently suited to Tuscan appetizers and Charcuterie as well as to all variations of pasta. Best served at approx. 16 C 61 F.
