CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA DOCG
Created in 1985, this was Italo’s tribute to his son Sergio, who thatvery
year began to assist him in running the winery. Sangioveto is also a
reference to the archaic name of Sangiovese, the main grape chosen for
the new wine. From the 2015 vintage onwards, it bears the name
Chianti Classico Riserva and is once again 100% Sangiovese.
The grapes come from the Sergioveto vineyard of the Le Macìe estate in Castellina in Chianti.
Grape Varieties: Sangiovese 100%
Planting Year: 2000
Location of the Vineyards: Le Macìe Estate, Sergioveto Vineyard
Surface Area: 5 hectares
Planting Density: 6,500 vines/ha
Exposure: South-East, North-West
Altitude: min-max 350-365m above sea level
Soil: Sillano formation, with presence of Alberese and Galestro, marly limestone, loamy, alkaline, and very calcareous.
After a precise selection has been carried out in the vineyard,
the grapes are vinified at a controlled temperature with a
post-fermentative maceration on the skins for approximately
15 days. The wine is subsequently refined in 25/35 hectoliter
French oak barrels for 15 to 18 months, followed by a
further period of refinement in the bottle, for at least a year.
Color: very intense ruby red, tending towards garnet with
aging.
Bouquet: intense and persistent, with hints of small red fruits
and jam. The spiciness of the wood is present which gives
sweet notes to the bouquet.
Taste: wine with great structure, balanced and with good
aromatic persistence.
