Chianti Classico DOCG - Villa Trasqua

In the glass, the Chianti Classico from Villa Trasqua offers a dense purple-red color. With a little swirl, the red wine glass reveals a charming violet hue at the edges. The bouquet of this red wine from Tuscany captivates with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, black cherry and blueberry. If we trace the aromas further, cocoa bean, vanilla and dark chocolate are added.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste and was bottled with just 1 gram of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine at the upper end of the price range, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need sugar. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense on the palate. Thanks to its vital fruit acidity, the Chianti Classico is exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. There are again hints of black cherry and plum. In the finish, mineral notes from the clay and limestone-dominated soils are added.

Vinification of the Villa Trasqua Chianti Classico

This powerful Chianti Classico from Italy is a cuvée made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese grapes. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay, sand, limestone and marl. The Chianti Classico is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
