Vecchia Cantina Chianti DOCG 2023 (Italy)

Description

Oak, Raspberry, Vanilla

Covered ruby red with good violet shades. Immediate and direct with pronounced notes of red berry fruits. After ageing in durmast barrels, it develops pleasant vanilla scents. Good impact on the palate, it reveals a remarkable body and a very good balance among its components, with a pleasant tannic finish.

Established in 1937, thanks to the initiative of 14 pioneering producers, Vecchia Cantina is the oldest wine growing and wine producing cooperative in Tuscany. For over 80 years they have been a driving force in the region, whilst almost single-handedly sustaining the DOC (Denominazione di Origine) following the Second World War. Today it remains a cornerstone in the region and widely recognized as being a key promoter of regional wine, culture and tradition.

Grapes are hand-picked, destemmed then maceration takes place at a controlled temperature lasting between 10-14 days. After being drawn from the vats, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
