Terre del Buontalenti Chianti Classico 2023

Attractive garnet red.

Lively perfumes of cherry with red and black berry fruit, especially raspberry and myrtle give way to tertiary notes of black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and a vanilla oak character. Pleasing balsamic notes on the finish.

Well-structured and spiced, the palate reflects the nose with multiple attractive layers of flavour.

Hand-picked grapes are carefully sorted on arrival in the cellar before destemming. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts. Brief pump overs allow gentle extraction and after two weeks, the skins are lightly pressed with a gentle pneumatic press to release the juice and the wine transferred to large, untoasted oak casks for malolactic fermentation.

The wine ages for 12 months in large, untoasted oak casks to preserve its fruit driven character.
