CHIANTI COLLI ARETINI A fine Chianti made from a blend of hand picked Sangiovese, Canaiolo Toscano, and a small percentage of Cabernet, Trebbiano Toscano, and Malvasia del Chianti. The wine is skillfully vinified and then matured in Slavonic oak. The color is a vibrant ruby red that tends to granite with age. The aroma is pleasingly intense and delicately floral. The taste is dry, well balanced with good structure and a finish reminiscent of wild berries. A delightful complement to smoked or barbecued meats, game, and spicy cheeses. Serve at room temperature. Cantina dei Vini Tipici dell’Arentino lies in the rolling Tuscan hills, in the province of Arezzo, which is ideally suited to the cultivation of high quality grapes. All the Chianti from the Cantina is made in the typical Tuscan Governo-style. The grapes are hand picked exclusively, then accurately sorted into boxes. They are then cold pressed, under temperature-controlled conditions with subsequent prolonged maceration in order to enhance the fragrances and retain the color continuity from the skins. Drawing off (natural decanting) into small stainless steel tanks, successive decanting and the Toscano-Governo method of adding small amounts of must of unfermented (fresh) slightly withered grapes, second fermentation in oak in underground cellars at a constant temperature, periodic decanting and the successive phase of maturation in Slavonic oak casks, are the typical stages that Cantina dell’Arentino employs in the making of all their Chiantis. |
