Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Carismante

Colour

Intense ruby red with light garnet hues.

Nose

Complex, rich, elegant, territorial; fruity hints of red fruit, small forest berries; spicy with fresh notes of medicinal herbs and Mediterranean scrub.

Palate

Balanced, soft, dense, juicy, concrete tannins, integrated with a fresh acidity that extends into fruity and spicy hints integrated with a fresh minerality.

We hand-pick the grapes in small crates, we store them and we cool them for one night. We double-check the grapes on the sorting table before starting the winemaking process.
Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in Terracotta amphorae and in temperature-controlled steel tanks. After a 30 days gentle maceration on the yeasts, we decant the wine in a 35 hectoliters French oak barrel where the malolactic fermentation takes place naturally. Carismante is aged in barrel for 24 months and then it rests in steel tanks for 6 months before bottling.
After bottling, it is aged in glass for at least three months before the release.
