Fattoria di Rignana Chianti Classico DOCG

Chianti Classico: A youthful classic in a glass

The Chianti Classico DOCG from Fattoria di Rignana is a typical representative of the Chianti Classico wine-growing region. This red wine is made from the indigenous grape varieties Sangiovese and Canaiolo in the traditional Chianti style. For many years, Cosimo Gericke, the owner of Fattoria e Villa di Rignana, has used the tried and tested blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Canaiolo grapes for his Chianti Classico. Naturally, the grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented at a controlled temperature of 27 °C. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in stainless steel tanks. The young wine is then matured in oak barrels of various sizes and origins. The wine is stored there for at least a year - usually even longer. The interplay of all these factors results in a fruity, easily accessible and very tasty Chianti Classico, which is of course awarded the "Gallo Nero" label. With an alcohol content of at least 12%, Rignana's Chianti Classico is the perfect accompaniment to food that is not too heavy or dominant.
