Casabianca Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

Grape variety: Sangiovese, Canaiolo
Vineyard size: 2.0 hectares
Annual production: 830 cases
Colour: Dark ruby-red with light hues of rust-brown
Bouquet: Intense aroma of wild berries, spicies and capsicum
Taste: Stout wine with a persistent flavor of wild berries, in particular red sweet berries. A hint of wood flavor cedes to a marvelous final of vanilla.
Process: following a manual selection and harvesting of the grapes, these are checked again and separated in individual bunches and processed through special machinery (diraspatrice). The first fermentation takes place at controlled temperature (25-26 degrees Celsius) and lasts 20 days. This is followed by a second fermentation (malolactic) in stainless steel bins for 30 days at a temperature of 20-21 degrees Celsius. After 12 more months in stainless bins, the wine is placed in wood barrels for 8 months. The wine is then bottled and kept steady for 3 months before hitting the market.
