Tasting note
100% Sangiovese, carefully selected from the best plots of Castagnoli. The riserva is rich in ripe, red cherries as well as spicy and earthy aromas. Dried cherries and red plums are also on the palate, which has lots of sweet, soft tannins. Elegant and rich in aromas on the aftertaste.
Culinary recommendation
Flaschenpost team recommends this Chianti Classico Riserva Terrazze for pizza, pasta and lamb. Our recommendation: The perfect drinking temperature for organic red wine is slightly chilled 14°-16°C.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand in small boxes. The alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously with natural yeasts in 1-ton vats and steel tanks. The skins are macerated very carefully: The berries fall directly into the barrels without going through a pump or hoses, so that they remain intact and are crushed by their own weight alone. The malolactic fermentation takes place in oak wood. The wine ages in French oak barrels and tonneaux for 24 months before being refined in the bottle for at least twelve months.
