History
The origin of the name Chianti is not certain: some versions indicate the Latin word clangor (noise) to remind the noise of the hunting in the forests of the area; according to others the name comes from the Etruscan word clante (water) the area was rich of, favouring the growth of the grapes.
Tasting notes
Color: Vivacious ruby red colour tending to garnet with ageing.
Nose: Intense and characteristic bouquet, fruity with a violet fragrance and a slight hint of cherries.
Palate: Dry, balanced and zesty, lightly tannic which turns into velvety softness.
Vinification
Selected Chianti vineyards with sandy, clayey and calcareous soil. Old traditional vinification method: completely mature grapes are harvested from vineyards and processed in membrane presses. Soft presses, fermentation at controlled temperatures and prolonged maceration with the skins.
