Pagliarese Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

It is called Pagliarese and it is a quality Chianti Classico DOCG. It is offered by the fine Sienese company Fèlsina, based in Castelnuovo Berardenga. We are in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, the most historic and vocated area. Here the wine tradition is ancient and Sangiovese is almost the only protagonist. It certainly is in the blend of this wine, which is composed of 90% Sangiovese. With it small parts of Canaiolo and Mammolo, which contribute to the complexity of the finished wine. Long controlled fermentation and maturation of the wine in medium/large Slavonian oak casks for a period of between 10 and 12 months. This is followed by bottling and the final passage to the cellar for a further 6 months, necessary to achieve the right degree of refinement. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful ruby-red colour, with intense aromas of red and dark fruit, a delicate hint of undergrowth and an intense hint of sweet spices and tobacco. On the palate, however, it is pleasantly elegant, well supported by the right tannicity and a soft, lingering aftertaste. On the table it goes well with savoury dishes. Excellent - ça va sans dire - with the classic Fiorentina steak accompanied, as tradition would have it, by a side of beans and a splash of good oil. ...
