Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine une balade au cœur de la Toscane, où les collines ondulent sous un soleil généreux. Ce Chianti Classico Riserva 2022 de Rocca Guicciarda, c'est la traduction de cette terre dans le verre : une invitation à la découverte d'un vin authentique et traditionnel, sans jamais tomber dans l'excès.
Le domaine Rocca Guicciarda, niché au cœur des collines du Chianti Classico à Gaiole in Chianti, est un véritable emblème de cette appellation prestigieuse. Ce Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva est l'expression d'un savoir-faire ancestral, où le Sangiovese, cépage roi de la région, règne en maître avec 90% de l'assemblage. Il est subtilement complété par 5% de Merlot et 5% de Canaiolo, apportant complexité et rondeur à l'ensemble.
From the very first glance, you will be seduced by its compact ruby colour, a promise of fine concentration. On the nose, this wine offers an articulated aromatic profile: you will discover notes of ripe red fruits, of black cherry (amarena), lifted by light spicy touches and balsamic accents. On the palate, it reveals a balanced structure, refreshing acidity and tannins that are present yet perfectly integrated. The finish is of medium to long persistence, leaving a lasting and pleasant impression. The vinification, with controlled fermentation in steel and maceration of 14 to 16 days, followed by 21 months of ageing in barriques, tonneaux and large casks, then 6 months in bottle, testifies to the care given to every stage of its creation.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is the ideal companion for your meals. I particularly recommend it with red meats, game or aged cheeses. It will also pair wonderfully with flavourful pasta dishes. Its measured approach means it will not dominate your dishes, but will enhance them with elegance.
Whether for an important dinner among friends, a special occasion where you wish to share a fine bottle, or simply to treat yourself, this wine is a judicious choice. You can enjoy it right away, but if you appreciate wines with greater evolution, a few years of rest in the cellar will allow it to gain further complexity. Do not hesitate to decant it for a broader aromatic opening and serve it at room temperature to appreciate all its nuances. It is a true invitation to the Tuscan dolce vita, a bottle that will transport you directly under the sun of Gaiole in Chianti.
