Chianti DOCG Gentilesco Bonacchi

Chianti DOCG Gentilesco Bonacchi is produced in the Chianti region, located in Tuscany, in a hilly area characterized by a Mediterranean climate with significant temperature swings between day and night. The vineyards from which this wine comes are located at an altitude between 250 and 500 meters above sea level, and are mainly exposed to the southwest, thus enjoying excellent sun exposure. The vineyards are cultivated mainly with the Sangiovese grape variety, which makes up at least 80 percent of the blend, accompanied by small percentages of other authorized grape varieties such as Canaiolo, Colorino and other local varieties. The agronomic management of the vineyards is careful and aims to obtain high quality grapes, with pruning and soil management techniques aimed at controlling yield and favoring the concentration of phenolic compounds in the grapes. The production process of Chianti Gentilesco Bonacchi follows the traditional rules of the Chianti DOCG disciplinary. After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with frequent pumping over to extract color and tannins in a balanced manner. Aging takes place mainly in oak barrels of various sizes, where the wine matures and stabilizes before being bottled. The result is a wine that best expresses the characteristics of the Chianti terroir, with its structure, freshness and complexity, the result of careful care both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
