TASTING NOTES
The night cold of the first days of April, just during the budding of the vine, aroused some concern, which fortunately proved to be unfounded. The 2020 harvest was characterized by a fairly cool spring which was followed by a hot and long summer but with good temperature variations between day and night. The minimum temperatures were always mild both in July and August, allowing the optimal completion of the ripening process of the grapes. The vines did not suffer from water stress thanks to the refreshing rains of June and September. All these are the prerequisites for another excellent vintage of Chianti Classico, with great structure and great balance. This Chianti Classico 2020 has a great body in which fruity notes and fresh acidity predominate. The nose is rich in ripe fruit and floral notes of violet and rose, with sweet hints of cedar. On the palate it is full, enveloping and rich in notes of fruit and honeysuckle. The tannins are elegant and delicate as well as the acidity. A long finish leaves room for spicy and herbaceous notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and persistent black tea.
