Description
The Chianti Classico of Castello Monsanto is born in vineyards located in the municipality of Barberino Val d'Elsa, in the province of Florence.
It is mainly produced with Sangiovese grapes and with Colorino and Canaiolo grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place in truncated-conical steel vats at a controlled temperature for about 18-20 days, with delestage and pumping over. Subsequently the wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels (38 hl).
This Chianti Classico has an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with hints of cherry, strawberry and blueberry, enriched with notes of geranium, humus and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is fresh and savory, with good persistence.
Perfect to accompany poultry and red meats, this wine is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
