Castello di Verrazzano Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 750ml

Castello di Verrazzano Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 is a classic Tuscan red wine produced in Greve in Chianti, in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Made predominantly from Sangiovese with complementary red grapes from the estate, it expresses the traditional character of Chianti Classico through vibrant red fruit, floral aromas, fresh acidity and fine tannins.

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented at controlled temperatures of up to 28°C, followed by approximately 15 days of maceration with frequent pumping over and gentle punching down. The wine is then matured in medium-sized French oak casks for a minimum of 18 months, followed by at least four months of bottle refinement.

The result is a balanced and structured Chianti Classico with aromas of cherry and blackberry blended with floral notes. The palate is harmonious and savoury, with good structure, fine sweet tannins, subtle oak character and a pleasant red-fruit finish.
