Tenuta La Novella Casa di Colombo 2020 Chianti Classico DOCG

A Chianti Classico DOCG from Tenuta La Novella, made from Sangiovese with a small percentage of Merlot. The grapes are harvested by hand in the Sughera vineyard, 550 metres above sea level, on soils rich in sandstone. Fermentation is followed by 12 months in 30hl sandstone and cement vats, then six months in bottle. It is an elegant red that carries the character of high-altitude vineyards. The colour is a bright ruby, with aromas of marasca cherry, redcurrant and violet, along with noble spices. The palate is juicy and elegant, with refined tannin and freshness. It suits meat dishes such as tagliatelle with hare ragù, mixed roasts and baked stuffed vegetables.
