90+ Cellars Description
Sangiovese has been grown in the lush rolling hills of Chianti for hundreds of years, producing some of the world’s most classic red wines. Lot 144 Chianti Riserva is a testament to the greatness of this classic region, showcasing beautiful red fruit, and rustic earth and spice.
This wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes that are grown at a family-run estate that dates back over a century. After harvest, the grapes go through a slow fermentation that lasts for about 15 days. The wine then ages for a year in large oak casks in the estate’s underground cellars, and then for an additional year in bottle, creating an elegant and layered profile. In order to be classified as a Chianti Riserva, the wine must be aged for at least two years before release.
TASTING NOTES
Dried flowers and beautiful notes of ripe strawberries emerge from the glass with lingering notes of earth and spice on the finish.
