Leccioni Chianti DOCG - Frescobaldi

The Leccioni Chianti from the wine-growing region of Tuscany presents itself in the glass as a brilliantly shimmering purplish-red, ruby red. The bouquet of this red wine from Tuscany captivates with nuances of plum, blueberry, greengage, and black cherry. As we explore the aromatics further, black tea, cinnamon, and gingerbread spice are added.

This red wine from Frescobaldi is perfect for those who prefer minimal sweetness in their wine. However, it never appears sparse or brittle, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed red wine is wonderfully velvety. Thanks to its moderate fruit acidity, the Leccioni Chianti caresses the palate with a soft mouthfeel, without sacrificing freshness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Tuscany wine region, specifically Chianti DOCG, ultimately convinces with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of the Leccioni Chianti from Frescobaldi

This elegant Italian red wine is made vegan from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese cuvée. After handpicking, the grapes are immediately transferred to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The vinification is completed with several months of aging on fine lees before the wine is finally bottled. After barrel aging, the wine undergoes extensive bottle maturation, making it even more complex.
