Terre di Prenzano Chianti Classico DOCG - Vignamaggio

The powerful Terre di Prenzano Chianti Classico from the house of Vignamaggio shimmers into the glass with a dense ruby red color. When given some air by swirling, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which is evident in pronounced church windows on the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine displays wonderfully expressive aromas of blueberry, black cherry, plum, and morello cherry, rounded off by gingerbread spice, oriental spices, and dark chocolate contributed by the barrel aging.

This red from Vignamaggio is a good choice for all connoisseurs who prefer as little sweetness as possible in their wine. At the same time, it never appears meager or austere, as befits a wine of this renown. Powerful and multi-faceted, this velvety red wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to the moderate acidity, the Terre di Prenzano Chianti Classico caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without sacrificing juicy liveliness. The finish of this red wine, which has excellent aging potential and hails from the wine-growing region of Tuscany, more precisely Chianti Classico, ultimately captivates with a beautiful aftertaste.
