Chianti Classico 2018

Villa di Geggiano presents a Chianti Classico 2018 rooted in the terroir of Castelnuovo Berardenga, at 320 meters above sea level, with soil blending sand, silt, clay, and stony skeleton, facing south and southeast. This 100% Sangiovese, from 15-year-old vines trained in Guyot, highlights meticulous attention in the cellar: from destemming and gentle crushing, through pre-fermentative cold maceration and wise use of natural yeasts, to a 16-day fermentation at 28°C in steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and a long aging of at least 18 months in 500-liter French oak tonneaux, with 10% new wood contributing to its structure.

In the glass, it displays a beautiful intense ruby color, promising complexity and depth on the nose, while on the palate it reveals a wine of character, with its 14.5% alcohol content underscoring its generosity.
