DOCG Chianti Rouge San Lorenzo 2021
WINE:
Chianti San Lorenzo comes from the vineyards around Cipresseta. It is made with Sangiovese Grosso grapes and complementary grapes, harvested in October. After 3 or 4 days of pre-fermentation, the vinification process begins. During the malolactic fermentation, the wine is pumped numerous and thoroughly and then goes for a short time in wooden barrels in the development phase. Its bouquet, typical of these grapes, is reminiscent of the smell of sweet violets. The taste is dry, harmonious full, velvety and round. Goes well with salami and poultry, including cheeses such as grana and pecorino, as well as hearty pasta dishes.

In Brief
These are two customer comments, the very best recommendations, "Deep colour in the glass and fruity bouquet that also replicates on the palate. Dry with high tannins and medium legs. Blackberry, raspberry and pepper abound with and oaky, smoky fini sh to it. Above average Chianti of 2020 vintage". " What a wonderful vintage! From the oak and spice nose to light raspberry and cherry flavours. The ending was short for this DOCG wine but was really smooth. Overall I would add it to my cellar".
