Banfi Chianti DOCG Superiore 2020 (Italy)

Description

Floral, Oak, Spice

Balanced wine with a young ruby red colour. Characterised by fresh, floral hints of violets and cyclamen. In the mouth it is distinguished by a soft structure well balanced by good acidity. The finish is rich and persistent.

Traditional varieties of Chianti with an absolute predominance of Sangiovese.

The mild temperatures and the scarcity of rainfall in the winter, as well as then in the spring, led to an early growth development of the vines. In June, there was repeated rain with mild temperatures, which allowed for a surprising vegetative-productive balance of the vineyards. During the following summer months, the warm temperatures and the sunny weather allowed for perfect veraison and ripening of the grapes. The harvest took place earlier than usual. The grapes were in perfect condition and, thanks to the good temperature ranges and the absence of rain, presented excellent aromatic profiles and good acidity.

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

Food Pairing: A perfect match with white meat dishes, cold-cuts and cheese.
