6 Bottles “San Giovanni Novantasette” RISERVA Chianti DOCG – 10% Discount

6 BOTTLES OF SAN GIOVANNI NOVANTASETTE RED WINE DOCG RISERVA
The wine Chianti Riserva Colli Fiorentini derives only from Sangiovese grapes which are picked from a single 2 hectare vineyard. Our intention is to obtain a well structured wine which maintains the typical fruity notes of Sangiovese grapes. The particular terrain on which the vines are cultivated gives the grapes, and subsequently the wine, a marvelous smoothness and surprising freshness.
Well balanced red wine, best after 4/6 years from harvesting. The soil is mixed, tending towards clay with a good presence of skeleton, averagely fertile. The grape used is Sangiovese (100%). In the vineyards we use the technique of Cordon sprun, with a density of approximately 5.000 plants per hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand, usually around the 25th of September. Fermentation takes place in steel vats at a temperature of 28°/30° for approximately 15 days, during which time delicate pressing procedures are performed to gently extract the tannins. The wine is then transferred into 25 hl oak barrels for 9-12 months, transition which serves to complete the Sangiovese ageing process whilst enhancing the fruity flavor.
