Fossivento Chianti Classico DOCG

Colour

Intense ruby red with light garnet hues.

Nose

Wine with a marked territorial identity, fruity notes, red fruits, cherries, marasca cherries, inserted in  oral and violet scents; savory and mineral hints, integrated with fresh spices and medicinal herbs

Palate

Balanced and concrete tannin, crunchy, married with a fresh acidity that extends into a long fruity and spicy persistence.

We hand-pick the grapes in small crates, we store them and we cool them for one night. The day after we double-check the grapes on the sorting table before starting the winemaking process.
Fermentation takes place spontaneously in 7 hectoliters Terracotta amphorae and in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The malolactic fermentation takes place naturally.
The wine is then poured partially in 3rd and 4th passage barriques, partially in terracotta amphorae, where Fossivento is aged for about 14-16 months. Then we decant it in steel tanks and we bottle.
After bottling, it is aged in glass for at least three months before the release.
