RIFUGIO DEL VESCOVO

Chianti Classico DOCG

This product is the link to the tradition of the area and to the characteristics of the Tuscan grape par excellence, “the SAN-GIOVESE”, which makes Tuscany one of the most famous wine-growing regions in the world. The grapes from the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, where the vineyards are cultivated by our partners, are picked by hand and are then fermented with advanced technologies that tend to limit their contact with ox-ygen and enhance all the characteristics of a Chianti Classico. Depending on the vintage, the grapes maceration may be pro-longed, even 25-30 days. The wine that is obtained is, in part, aged in oak barrels for 12 months, and partly in steel.

This wine shows an intense ruby red color. It’s persistent with hints of red fruits like blackberry and raspberry with a hint of vanilla given by its short aging in oak barrels.
It goes well with red meats and wild venison.
