What the tasting box contains:
Chianti Classico 2019 San Giusto a Rentennano: It is the label that best expresses the Chianti terroir expressed through the winery's style: it is a red wine characterized by a beautiful complexity and a precise aromatic profile. Ruby red color with garnet reflections, it expresses a nose of ripe red fruit on a background of spicy notes, for a lively, fresh and soft taste with great personality. Sangiovese grapes come from the southern part of the Chianti Classico area, from plants which grow at an altitude of 270 meters above sea level, enjoying an excellent exposure and a climate which gives considerable temperature range. The vinification and the work in the vineyard follow principles of certified organic farming, in order to obtain authentic and expressive wines.
Chianti Classico 2018 Isole e Olena: It is produced with Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Syrah grapes, harvested by hand from the vineyards of Barberino Val d'Elsa hills, in the province of Florence. All production processes are done with great attention and respect for the territory, in line with Isole e Olena's philosophy: fermentation with maceration in skins is done for 15-20 days with daily pumping over and délestage. Subsequently, the wine ages for 12 months in barriques and other barrels of various sizes before bottling.
Chianti Classico Riserva "Rancia" 2016 Fattoria di Felsina: The Riserva "Rancia" expresses all the elegance and structure of the small Sangiovese grown in the vineyard of the same name in Castelnuovo Berardenga, at an altitude of 400 meters facing south. It comes from carefully selected bunches which, once brought to the winery, are crushed and destemmed before fermentation and the following 16-20 days of maceration on the skins in steel tanks with automatic punching down and daily pumping over. After resting in steel tanks until March, the wine is transferred into French oak barriques where it will stay for 18 months. After another 6 months in bottle, the wine is ready. Ruby red color with good intensity and tonality. Spicy on the nose, floral notes and small red and black fruits, with mineral hints and a light toasted note. Hints of spice on the palate with young, firm and soft tannins, straight and tight on the finish, involving flavor and acid line.
