Fattoria di Rignana Chianti Classico DOCG

Chianti Classico: a youthful classic in a glass jar

The Chianti Classico DOCG from Fattoria di Rignana is a typical representative of the Chianti Classico wine-growing region. This red wine is made from the autochthonous Sangiovese and Canaiolo grape varieties, following the traditional models of Chianti. For many years, Cosimo Gericke, the owner of Fattoria e Villa di Rignana, has used the tried and tested 85% Sangiovese and 15% Canaiolo blend for his Chianti Classico. Of course, the grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented at a controlled temperature of 27°C. The grapes are then fermented at the same time. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in stainless steel tanks. For the further maturation the still young wine reaches in oak barrels of different sizes and origin. The wine is stored there usually even for longer. The combination of all these factors results in a fruity, easily accessible and very tasty Chianti Classico, which is of course awarded the "Gallo Nero" label. With an alcohol content of at least 12%, this Chianti Classico from Rignana is the perfect accompaniment, not too heavy or dominant.
