Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG Farnetella 2021

This Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG is made from Sangiovese grapes, for the most part, and Merlot, for a small part. Grape varieties selected from the farm plots in Farnetella, in the municipality of Sinalunga. We are south of Siena and north of Montepulciano. After all, here, in this fortunate corner of Tuscany, Sangiovese is capable of producing grapes of great concentration and richness. This is thanks to the unique soil, but also to a temperate climate and excellent exposure. In this case, the vineyards are located on a well-ventilated plateau, with heights between 220 and 560 metres above sea level. After racking, at the end of fermentation, the wine is put into small, medium and large capacity barrels. This maturation phase lasts for about 8-12 months, followed by at least another 3 months of bottle ageing. The result is a wine characterised by an intense ruby red colour with violet hues. The nose reveals fruity aromas of underbrush, notes of aniseed and sweet liquorice, typical of Sangiovese grown in this area. All this is well integrated with a light spiciness. In the mouth it is soft, with a good aftertaste of fruit and light vanilla.
