TENUTA DI ARCENO - VINOSO.Shop Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2016

Sangiovese Strada al Sasso

Strada al Sasso is a prestigious Sangiovese coming exclusively from a single vineyard. This exceptional microcru planted in 1998 is located in a very ventilated area of the property. Strada al Sasso is the most intense, deep, concentrated and complex wine Tenuta Di Arceno.

5 Bibenda Bunches and 94 Points from James Suckling for this 2016, a truly elegant vintage. Sunny days and the right amount of rain have postponed the harvest naturally, giving the grapes more precious time on the vine. The harvest for Sangiovese began on September 28 and ended on October 6.

The warm days of September led to wines full of ripe fruit flavors with intense aromatic notes, while the cool nights helped maintain the bright acidity typical of Chianti Sangiovese. On the nose there are aromas of earth, cloves, laurel and tarragon. Raspberries, blueberries and white chocolate dominate the profile of flavors, followed by soft tannins with persistent notes of white pepper, orange peel and cypress.

This vintage, with a beautiful structure, will refine in the bottle for many years and reach the optimal drink from 2021.
