CHIANTI CLASSICO
TENUTA DI SANT'ALFONSO
DOCG









VINEYARD
Produced exclusively with grapes from the Tenuta Sant'Alfonso vineyards of Rocca delle Marie.

GRAPE VARIETAL
Sangiovese 100%

VINIFICATION
initial fermentation occurs in high tech fermenters that allow us to extract the maximum amount of polifenolic material possible. Aged in Slavonian oak for at least one year, then it refines more in the bottle.

AGING
Stored properly, it can age for 15 years.

WINE DESCRIPTION
Color: intense ruby red.
Nose: intense, persistent, with a pronounced sensation of ripe red fruit.
Palate: warm and full bodied. A perfect balance between fruity and tannic.

WINEMAKER'S RECOMMENDATIONS
If stored for longer periods, the bottle should be opened some time before serving or decanted for a few minutes. Serve at 64° 68°F. Though not a Riserva, this wine has many traits of a reserved vintage, making it a great companion to full flavored entrees such as roasts, wild game and indeed any red meat or pasta.
