Chianti Riserva DOCG Tenuta Di Campriano

It is not surprising to discover that this Chianti Riserva DOCG Tenuta di Campriano produced by Buccia Nera has been awarded several times by international wine critics. The fact that it is a great product is clear from the first sip. It could be defined as a pure Sangiovese, since this grape accounts for about 85% of the blend. But in this case, in order to add nobility to the cut, a part of Merlot and one of Cabernet Sauvignon are added, both improving vines par excellence. The vinification of the grapes takes place in three different moments, always in steel at a controlled temperature. Spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and 2 years refinement in 30-hectoliter oak barrels, followed by a further year in the bottle. The result is a complex and structured red wine. The color is impenetrable, ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose it opens with notes of cherry in spirit and blackberry, and then offers spicy sensations of chocolate, licorice and tobacco. On the palate it is full, voluminous, soft at the beginning, with nice ripe tannins that leave the mouth dry and clean.
