Nerento Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione - Villa Trasqua

The Villa Trasqua Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a first-class red wine. It presents a wonderfully dense, ruby red color. If you tilt the glass slightly, you can see a transition of the color towards garnet red at the edges. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high level of density and fullness, which can be seen in the strong stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. This single-varietal Italian wine displays wonderfully elegant and complex notes of blueberries, morello cherries, plums and blackberries in the glass. There are also hints of black tea, juniper and green peppers.

The Nerento Chianti Classico from Villa Trasqua is just right for all wine lovers who like as little residual sweetness in their wine as possible. However, it is never sparse or brittle. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, the Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione flatters the palate with a soft feel without lacking any juicy liveliness. On the finish, this red wine from the Tuscan wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. There are again hints of blackcurrant and plum. In the finish, mineral notes from the clay and limestone-dominated soils are added.

Vinification of the Villa Trasqua Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The basis for the powerful Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Tuscany are grapes from the Sangiovese grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay, sand, limestone and marl. The Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 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 the harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place 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 maturation in wooden barrels is followed by extensive ageing in the bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
