Tolaini Chianti Classico Vallenuova 2022 750ml

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. Grape varieties: 95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo Altitude: 350m Vineyard age: 20-year-old vines Exposure: Southeast Soil: Galestro and limestone, mostly clay with gravel-size stones Tasting notes: Complex and compelling, offering a mix of pure black cherry and black currant fruit, with earth, spice and leather flavors. Lush and balanced, presenting a long, tobacco-tinged finish.
