Chianti Classico Gran Selezione “Riserva Ducale Oro” DOCG 2019

Riserva Ducale was born in 1927, to pay homage to the Duke of Aosta who had reserved his preferences for this wine. The grapes are vinified separately parcel by parcel. We thus obtain rigorous respect for territorial typicality and pedoclimatic variety. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in steel vats at 27° with constant punching down for about 10 days, followed by a post-fermentative maceration on the skins for another 10 days. The malolactic transformation takes place in concrete tanks.

Garnet color with brick reflections. On the nose an incensed nuance introduces wood and graphite, black cherries in alcohol and vegetal notes, before an inky finish. Intense and soft sip, with important tannins, well smoothed and integrated, with a hint of fruit in spirit and light spiciness. Good acidity accompanies and leads to a persistent and clean finish.

Important meat dishes.
