Chianti Superiore DOCG - Burchino  - Tenuta di Burchino

Appellation: Chianti Superiore DOCG Region: Tuscany Alcohol: 12.5% Grapes: 90% Sangiovese, 5% Ciliegiolo, 5% Canaiolo

Vinification and refinement This Chianti Superiore is the result of a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes together with a small portion of the autochthon grape Ciliegiolo from the Burchino Estate vineyards located in the Colline Pisane production area, among the best. Hand picked grapes are immediately fermented in the modern cellars of Burchino. A prolonged maceration with the skins gives to the wine complex aromas and a fruity scent. The ageing takes place for over a year in traditional Slavonian oak casks.

Wine description Colour: Intense ruby red. Bouquet: Characteristic bouquet with plenty of cherry, leather and cedar flavours. Taste: The round mouthful with notes of licorice and tar is wrapped around ripe almost candied fruit.

Food pairings Ideal with steaks and grilled meats, perfect with mature cheeses. Serve at room temperature.
