chianti classico DOCG Riserva 2017

Difficult year, cold and dry winte. Damaging frosts at the end of April and a hot and dry summer. It saved us, again, being in Radda in Chianti and the east/northeast exposure of Val delle Corti, which allowed that minimum temperature range day/night essential for the maintenance of the vegetative activity of the plants. In mid-September the rain arrived, reraising the fate of a vintage that seemed to be compromised and that, at the end of the day, gave surprising results in terms of quality.

An invigorating, clean nose, currant leaf and violet. A first impetuous, almost grumpy sip, of best Sangiovese tradition in Radda. Slowly but steadily emerging, the wine assumes the unmistakeable profile of Val delle Corti : inebriating freshness, red fruit, fresh thyme, salt, an ematic note and, above all, straightness. Horse of breed, will grow over time.
