Vallenuova Chianti Classico DOCG
-
Description :
Grapes are first selected during harvest in the vineyard and then by an optical sorter when they arrive at the winery; they are destemmed and the whole berries are immediately placed in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is temperature-controlled, and the must is kept in contact with the skins for 20 days. The wine matures for 10 months in a mix of Tuscan, Slavonian, and Austrian oak casks. The name Vallenuova is the historic name of the site and is still today the formal address of the winery.

Description :
There is a certain magic about the relationship between sun (southern exposure), soil (galestro / clay), and altitude, which when combined give life to this Sangiovese. The Chianti Classico Vallenuova is made from a strict selection of Sangiovese harvested from the Estate. The wine matures for 10 months in oak casks, followed by 4 months in bottle. The result is a wine that is juicy and elegant. The name Vallenuova is the historic name of the site and is still today the formal address of the winery.
