Description
“Crespine” Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is the result of the best selection of Sangiovese grapes harvested at the beginning of October. All the grapes are produced in the estate vineyards, harvested by hand and fermented in tonneaux with maceration on the skins for 15 days. Malolactic fermentation and ageing for over 30 months take place in small 225-litre barrels. “Crespine” is aged for a minimum of six months in bottle before sale. The colour is very intense and the nose reveals spicy aromas and hints of cherry and blackberry. The taste is velvety, full-bodied, warm, with balanced tannins well integrated with a sweet aftertaste. The persistence is long and pleasant. Use large glasses and uncork your bottlle three hours before serving at temperature of 18°C.
