Chianti Classico Docg “Cortine” – Pieve di Campoli
£34,80 – £92,40
The basis of the Cortine line relies entirely on the connection between Cortine terroir and the more classic blend of zonal grape varieties: 90% Sangiovese paired with 10% Canaiolo and Colorino in mixed proportions.
The grapes are in vineyards adjoining the winemaking cellar.
Ageing: 12 months in second-passage French wooden barrels, subsequent 3 months in bottle.
Intense ruby red presents itself on the nose with an olfactory succession where ripe fruit, floral and spicy notes predominate.
Full-bodied, balanced and soft in the mouth, rightly tannic, persistent.
Pairings: Grilled red meat, game, meat entrees
