Borgo Scopeto 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva

Borgo Scopeto Chianti Classico is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards around Vagliagli and Castelnuovo Berardenga, at an altitude of 360-450 meters above sea level. The calcareous and sandy soil of the area contributes to the delicate nuances of the wine, which beautifully complement its full-bodied and spicy character. After a ten-day alcoholic fermentation and a traditional malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for at least 24 months. Of this, it spends 12 months in 30 hl. oak barrels from Slavonia, followed by three months in bottle.

Chianti Classico Riserva presents a deep color and a rich aroma with complex notes of cherries, plums, blackcurrants, mocha, dark chocolate, licorice, nutmeg and vanilla. The taste is full-bodied and spicy with a velvety texture that elegantly frames the tannins. The wine has excellent aging potential and can develop for 10-12 years.

It is an excellent choice for meat dishes such as duck, lamb, veal and game birds, as well as for milder cheeses.
