2021 Torre A Cona Chianti Colli Fiorentini

$38.00
$48.00

Quantity

The Chianti Colli Fiorentini is made from Sangiovese (90%) and Colorino (10%) grapes that ripen slowly due to the relatively high altitude of the vineyards. The fruit grows at an altitude ranging from 300 to 330 meters above sea level. Colorino made a brief resurgence in the 1980s, when winemakers likened it to Cabernet Sauvignon for its thick skin capable of higher phenolic concentration. It’s commonly grown throughout Tuscany, where it now plays second fiddle to Sangiovese. However, it’s praised for its dark colour and therefore used as a colouring agent in red blends. The result is opulent yet sophisticated and balanced.

Tasting Notes

It has an iridescent ruby red colour and an elegant nose exuding deep dark blackberry and blueberry scents, entwined with sweet spice and floral notes of lavender and rose. It has a sumptuous palate filled with blackberry, black cherry, a perky acidity, tart lilli pilly and powdery black tea leaf-like tannins.

Winemaking

The fruit was naturally fermented and macerated on skins for 7 days at controlled temperature in stainless steel, including pump overs and daily punch downs. 30% of the wine is aged in 50hL barrels for about 8 months, while the remainder was aged in stainless steel.
