Monte Bernardi Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 750ml

An elegant and rich Chianti Classico made from Sangiovese (95%) Canaiolo Nero (5%) grapes. Monte Bernardi Chianti Classico Riserva comes from old vineyards, from soil rich in shale and sandstone-limestone. The wine produced is a fruity, aromatic Sangiovese with soft, elegant tannins. The body is medium with a balanced structure, ready when released and it has excellent aging potential. Fermentation takes place naturally, in concrete tanks and steel vats. Fermentation lasts about 20-30 days, after which the wine is racked into large oak barrels where it undergoes the malolactic fermentation and remains for a minimum of 18 months. This is followed by further bottle aging for at least 3 months before release. 100% estate grown and bottled. Planted in 1968 (90%), 2003-2010 (10%) at 350-400 meters above sea level.
