Fattoria Montecchio 2021 – Chianti Classico

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers a distinguished minerality (limestone, even a bit chalky, dry gravel), which develops towards fresh herbaceous notes (wild mint, thyme, basil), a fine floral bouquet (rose, iris). We also find fresh juicy fruitiness: the aromas of red cherry, morello cherry, cranberries, strawberry, raspberry coulis, as well as crushed blueberry. The attack on the palate is lively, chiseled and tangy. It expresses a strong acidity of the wine, as well as a good bitterness. In the mid-palate, we find notes of maceration (macerated cherry), even dried fruit (dried red cherry, dried blueberry, dried blackcurrant), as well as fresh morello cherry, strawberry and raspberry coulis, associated with notes of dried herbs (thyme, wild mint, basil) and floral touches (rose, iris). The finish is gourmand and combines notes of macerated cherry and fresh morello cherry with a salivating acidity. The finish is moderately persistent, with good bitterness.
