Description
Soft, harmonious flavours of dark cherry, plum, chocolate and marzipan make this wine taste like it could be three times the price.
The grapes are de-stemmed and soft crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 25C, and lasts around 8-10 days. Frequent remontage occurs throughout fermentation in order to extract colour and achieve soft tannins. Malolactic fermentation is carried out. The juice is left in contact with the skins for 15 days.
Glorious Chianti, Italy's best-known red wine. 20 years ago Chianti was synonymous with the wicker-covered flasks of cheap plonk found in every Italian restaurant. Today the Chianti region boasts some of the world's finest wines. But it also produces loads of food-friendly bargains that somehow always seem a little more 'grown-up' than most other comparably priced quaffers.
Fontella is a traditional Chianti, being predominantly Sangiovese with a splash of Canaiolo and Colorino. Medium-bodied and easy-drinking in style, it is stainless steel fermented to maximise freshness and fruit expression.
