Description

Marchesi Gondi Chianti Rufina Riserva Villa Bossi DOCG 2016

Grape Varietal & Region: A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Villa Bossi estate in Chianti Rufina, Tuscany, Italy

Taste Profile: Great olfactory impact with fruity tones of cherry and ripe blackberry, followed by sweet spiciness with notes of licorice as well as balsamic and toasted nuances. Hints of cocoa and coffee in the finish. Great structure and character on the palate. The corpulence of this wine emerges in the alternation of mellowness and tannicity of strong personality, and in its lingering aftertaste imbued with fruity and mineral notes, closing on a pleasant hint of licorice

Winemaking Process: Fermentation takes place in vats, at a temperature of 20° C, controlled by a refrigeration machine. Malolactic fermentation follows in oak barrels.

It rests for 12 months in 25 hl Slavonian oak barrels, 12 months in barriques and 24 months in the bottles

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
