Cigliano di Sopra 2024 Chianti Classico

A Tuscan red wine from Cigliano di Sopra, made solely from Sangiovese grapes. The grapes are hand harvested and vinified separately by vineyard parcel, with around 20% left as whole bunches. Fermentation is spontaneous, followed by about 14 months in barriques and tonneaux, and the wine is unfiltered. It shows an intense ruby colour, with cherry, red fruit, spice, tobacco and humus on the nose. On the palate it is balanced and smooth, with present but well-calibrated tannin. It suits red meats, especially rosemary tagliata.
