Banfi Chianti DOCG Annata 2023 (Italy)

Description

Blackberry, Cherry, Plum

Deep mauve red. The nose has a complex bouquet, with notes of cherry and blackberry in the foreground. In the mouth, there is a nice and decisive structure. Young but silky and well-integrated tannins. Balanced by a good softness. Long and persistent finish.

The mild winter temperatures and low rainfall allowed the vines to begin the growing cycle within the standard timeframe. During the night of April 8, some vineyards were hit by a late frost, which delayed the phenological phases of the vines. However, thanks to mild temperatures and sunny days in the spring, the vines were able to regain their growth and production balance, reaching excellent ripening during the following months. The harvest began slightly later than usual, but the continuous ventilation and good temperature fluctuations in August and September allowed the grapes to develop excellent acidity with very interesting aromatic profiles.

Fermentation: in temperature-controlled (25-30°C) stainlesssteel tanks. Aging: in stainless steel tanks followed by a brief passage in wood.

Food Pairing: It perfectly pairs with simple dishes.
