Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems suspended. This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Roncicone, from the vineyards of Baron Ricasoli, is an invitation to a unique sensory journey, a pure expression of its terroir. It embodies the elegance and depth you seek in a great Tuscan wine.
We are in Gaiole in Chianti, the historical cradle of the Chianti Classico appellation. The Ricasoli estate, whose history is intrinsically linked to that of this region, cultivates its Roncicone vineyard there with passion. It is here, on these rich and ancient lands, that Sangiovese, the sole grape variety of this wine, draws all its strength and complexity. Each bunch is the reflection of ancestral know-how and a deep respect for nature.
To the eye, this wine reveals an intense ruby color, sprinkled with light garnet reflections, a promise of beautiful maturity. On the nose, you will be charmed by a complex profile: an explosion of ripe red fruits, enhanced by notes of floral freshness, resinous accents and sweet spices. With aeration, balsamic and undergrowth nuances are revealed, adding to its depth. On the palate, it shows itself structured, balanced by a vibrant acidity and silky tannins. Its generous body supports a persistent finish with a pleasant sapidity, leaving a memorable imprint. This 100% Sangiovese fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperature (24-27°C) with maceration of 14 to 16 days, using indigenous yeasts, before aging 22 months in 500-liter barrels and 8 months in bottle.
This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Roncicone is the ideal companion for your most refined meals. I recommend it with grilled red meats, flavorful roasts or game. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, highlighting their intense flavors. For an optimal experience, serve it at room temperature and do not hesitate to decant it a few hours before tasting so that it reveals the full extent of its aromas. It is a wine that invites sharing, perfect for great occasions or for enriching your personal cellar, offering a fascinating aging potential.
