Chianti Classico Gran selezione Vigna del Sorbo Fontodi

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo Fontodi is a prestigious red wine produced in the heart of Tuscany, in one of the most renowned areas for wine production: Chianti Classico. The Chianti Classico territory stretches between the provinces of Florence and Siena, in a hilly area characterized by limestone and clay soils, with a mild climate, ideal for growing vines. The Fontodi estate, located in Panzano, is a true natural amphitheater, facing south, which guarantees excellent ripening of the grapes. Vigna del Sorbo Fontodi is made mainly from Sangiovese grapes, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes are grown in vineyards with an average age of 30 years, with a density of 6,000 plants per hectare. The production process for this wine involves traditional vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins for about 3 weeks. Subsequently, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 24 months, then rests in the bottle for at least 6 months before release. The result is a wine of great structure and complexity, with an aromatic bouquet ranging from ripe red fruits to spices, with notes of tobacco and chocolate. The palate is full, round, with soft tannins and a long, lingering finish. Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo Fontodi is a wine that pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses. It is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately, but also has great aging potential.
