Chianti Classico Riserva Docg “Cortine” – Pieve di Campoli
The “Pieve” line also includes a winning blend, this one reintroduced with grapes selected from Cortine vineyards.
It is made from Sangiovese grapes blended with 10 % Merlot from the vineyard below the church.
Ageing: 14 months in French wood tonneau, subsequent 3 months in bottle
Intense ruby red presents itself to the nose with an olfactory succession where ripe fruit, floral and spicy notes predominate, and an unmistakable woody note.
On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, balanced, and soft in the mouth. It is fresh, rightly tannic, and very persistent in the aftertaste.
Pairings:
Braised and stewed meats, in general, game.
