Description

Casa Emma Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2018

Casa Emma Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG is made only in the best vintages and with the best Sangiovese grapes.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sangiovese from plots at the highest elevations of the Chianti Classico appellation. The plots sit at an altitude of 480 metres and have a limestone, rock and clay soil composition. These vines experience the earliest bud breaks and latest harvest times.

Taste Profile: Brilliant ruby red colour. A haunting bouquet of blackberries and savoury earth notes (mint and balsamic) emerge from the glass to linger endlessly. Dry and full-bodied on the palate with impressive complexity, a good structure and balance of elegant tannins and a vivid acidity. A succulent and rich kaleidoscope of flavours from ripe dark cherries, blackberries and black plum to lifted spicy oak nuances of cedar wood and rolled tobacco leaves. Closes with an extremely persistent finish.

Winemaking Process: After the harvest, the grapes go through vinification and fermentation in open topped wooden vats. The wooden vats allow the wine to slowly breathe as it ferments. The wine ages for 3 years in 100 HL oak barrels, then ages for another year in bottle.
