Nerento Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione - Villa Trasqua

With the Villa Trasqua Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It presents a wonderfully dense, ruby-red color. When the glass is tilted slightly, a transition of the hue towards garnet red can be seen at the rim. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a high density and richness, which is reflected in pronounced legs on the glass. This varietal Italian wine shows delightfully elegant and complex notes of blueberries, morello cherries, plums, and blackberries in the glass. Added to this are hints of black tea, juniper, and green bell pepper.

The Nerento Chianti Classico from Villa Trasqua is just right for all wine lovers who prefer as little residual sweetness in wine as possible. At the same time, it never appears austere or harsh. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an extremely dense texture. Thanks to its balanced acidity, the Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione caresses the palate with a soft feel, without sacrificing juicy liveliness. On the finish, this red wine from the Tuscan wine-growing region delights with considerable length. Once again, hints of blackcurrant and plum appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of Villa Trasqua Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

The basis for the powerful Nerento Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Tuscany consists of grapes of the Sangiovese variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here, the vines sink 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 exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled. The maturation in wooden casks is followed by extensive bottle aging, which makes this red wine even more complex.
