Lot 241 Chianti Classico DOCG, Italy

Chianti Classico is one of the oldest protected wine regions in the world, and as such, there are strict regulations that ensure the wines achieve the highest level of excellence. Made by an acclaimed family estate, this 100% Sangiovese wine punches well above its price point, delivering an elegant wine that will evolve for years to come. The maceration process for this wine requires that grapes are left on skins for approximately 15 days, at a controlled temperature, producing a vibrant ruby red hue. The wine is aged for 10 months in concrete tanks, and a portion is aged for 12 months in large French oak barrels. The resulting wine is plush and elegant on the palate, offering ripe red fruit, a whisper of spice, and a fresh herbal lift that lingers beautifully.
