Merk: Vini d'annata

Fattoria di Petroio Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 1997

Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 10% blend of Colorino, Cabernet & Malvasia Nera.

Fermentation: Traditional; duration 20 days.

Permanence on yeast: 90 days with technique batonnage.

Aging: 20 months in Tonneaux of french oak; 6 months in stainless steel; 22 months in 25hl oak barrel.

Organoleptic examination: A wine with great potential and a deep intense ruby red color.

Complex aromas on the nose where mature fruit combines with more vegetal nuances, all woven through with spicy, as well as, tertiary veins (hay and grass, cinnamon and cloves, leather and cocoa). The result manages to be interesting and diverse from many different angles while pleasantly tempting and stimulating the curiosity of the taster.

On the palate the wine is generous, expansive and full, particularly persistent and extremely well balanced given the great complexity on the nose.

The finish is lengthy and strikingly long.

Food parings: The great depth of structure and its extreme complexity permit a wide combination with many rich important dishes. Game, roasted meats, grilled beef and complex stews will find a fine compliment as well as aged cheeses and salamis.
