Chianti Classico Riserva “Agostino Petri” DOCG 2018

The Agostino Petri Reserve originates from a single Cru, an old vineyard with very low yields. The grapes are vinified in small 50hl stainless steel containers, which optimize the contact of the skins with the must, for approximately 15 days. The wine initially matures in second passage barriques (used by the winery) and continues in large barrels for a total period of 18 months. Finally, it refines in the bottle for another 4 months before being marketed.

It dresses the glass in ruby ​​red with shades of garnet red. On the nose it releases a wealth of evolved fruity notes and sweet spices, almost reminiscent of a chocolate praline filled with raspberry syrup and candied cherry. In the mouth it is warm and very enveloping thanks to soft tannins. It has an excellent balance and a fruit jam finish.

In addition to roasted red meats, it can also be enjoyed with mature cheeses.
