Maggiolo Chianti Classico D.O.C.G. Bio 75cl (2020) LAMOLE DI LAMOLE

Maggiolo Chianti Classico DOCG is a taste of the joyful sunniness of the region. The name of this tasty, rounded wine is based on that of the iris ('giaggiolo'), a typical flower of the Lamole area that dots the vineyards in the month of May ('Maggio') when it is at the height of its splendour. During production, the Sangiovese ferments separately to the international varietals, followed by refinement for 18 months in oak casks (Sangiovese) and barriques (Cabernet and Merlot) before blending and bottling with few months additional in-bottle maturation. The result is a wine of ruby red colour with a floral bouquet and fruity notes plus sweet spices. The palate is dominated by fresh, mellow sensations: the tannins are rounded and tasty, the acidity is well calibrated in its addition of vibrancy to the flavour, and the aromatic finish is profound yet elegant, with its suggestions of dark berry fruits and balsamic herbs. Stored correctly this wine will age well for 5-6 years after release.
