Le Cerrine - Cantina Gentili

The Cantina Gentili Le Cerrine is a first-class red wine. It presents a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. If you tilt the glass slightly, you can see a transition of the wine's color towards garnet red at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in the strong church windows at the edge of the glass. The bouquet of this red wine from Tuscany enchants with notes of plum jam, blackberry, wild berry jam and mulberry. If we explore the aromas further, gingerbread spice, cinnamon and black tea are added.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with just 1.9 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require sugar. On the tongue, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly melting and dense texture. The balanced fruit acidity gives Le Cerrine a pleasant mouthfeel without lacking freshness. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region impresses with its exceptional length. Once again, there are hints of blueberry and blackcurrant.

Vinification of Le Cerrine from Cantina Gentili

This powerful red wine from Italy is made from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grape varieties. Le Cerrine is also clearly determined by the climatic and stylistic factors of Chianti DOCG. This Italian wine can literally be described as a wine of the Old World, which presents itself in an extraordinarily impressive way. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation for 18 months in oak barriques.
