Chianti Classico - Tenuta Casenuove

In the glass, the Chianti Classico from Tenuta Casenuove reveals a dense ruby-red color. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine displays wonderfully complex aromas of raspberry and blackberry, rounded off by vanilla and black cherry contributed by barrel aging.

Tenuta Casenuove Chianti Classico presents itself to the wine enthusiast as delightfully dry. This red wine never appears rough or austere, but rather round and smooth. Powerful and complex, this dense, meaty and velvety red wine shows on the palate. The finish of this red wine from the Tuscan wine-growing region ultimately convinces with a beautiful aftertaste. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the limestone- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of Tenuta Casenuove Chianti Classico

This powerful red wine from Italy is vinified from the grape varieties Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in concrete and large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Chianti Classico is aged for another 12 months in oak barrels.
