VILLA MANGIACANE Chianti Classico DOCG
Tasting Notes
Ruby red colour with a remarkable luminosity. Fruity on the nose, with hints of small red and black fruits, such as cherry and berries, but also violet and sweet spices. Quite fresh on the palate with a remarkable fruity streak and well-balanced tannins.
Chianti Classico DOCG
At 300-plus years, Chianti is the oldest designated wine region in Italy. The area now known as “Chianti Classico” was determined in 1716 by Cosimo III de’ Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who established the first official boundaries of the Chianti region in what is today part of the Chianti Classico DOCG. Classico wine has to respect specific rules. Chianti Classico may be blended with other native and international varietals, but it must contain at least 80 percent Sangiovese, and white grape varietals are not allowed. Riserva wines must be aged for a minimum of 24 months.
