Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG - Villa Trasqua

The powerful Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva from Villa Trasqua comes into the glass with a dense purple color. At the edge, this Italian red also shows a transition to purple. This Italian cuvée reveals wonderfully expressive notes of black cherries, mulberries, plums and blueberries in the glass. There are also hints of oriental spices, vanilla and garrigue.

The Villa Trasqua Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva impresses with its elegantly dry taste and was bottled with just 0.3 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily need sugar. This dense red wine is full-bodied and multi-layered on the palate. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, the Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva flatters the palate with a soft sensation without lacking freshness. The finish of this very mature red wine from the Tuscan wine-growing region, Chianti DOCG to be precise, is convincing with a remarkable aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the limestone and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Villa Trasqua Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva

This powerful red wine from Italy is made from the Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese grape varieties. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay, sand, limestone and marl soils in Tuscany. The Fanatico Chianti Classico Riserva 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 harvesting, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. The ageing in the barrel is followed by a long period of maturation in the bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
