Product description

The Chianti Classico Riserva di Montemaggio is a red Tuscan wine produced from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes that comes especially from the oldest vineyards. It has an intense ruby colour and a spicy perfume with a hint of wood. It has a bouquet of rich floral notes, enriched with hints of fruits, pleasantly tannic and well balanced taste with persisting presence. It is produced from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes that comes especially from the oldest vineyards. The elevated locations of the vineyards (from 450 to 600 metres above sea level) and the large variation in temperature between night and day gives the wine their particular bouquet. The Sangiovese grapes are harvested in the second one half of October and the Merlot at the end of September. Following a careful selection of the best grapes (that are left on the plant for longer) fermentation lasts for about 30 days at controlled temperature (less than 26°C) in conical wood trunk vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stain- less steel and wooden vats. Thereafter for about 28-36 months, maturation takes place in large barrels (32 Hl) and in tonneaux (5 Hl). In Montemaggio we grow grapes with very low yields, which is an absolutely essential parameter for making quality wine. All through the harvest, the grapes are harvested by hand in crates and afterwards the berry by berry is selected, and everything that does not meet top quality criteria is eliminated. All through the fermentation, the temperature of the should is continuously checked to preserve all of the aromas and fragrances of the future wine. All Fattoia di Montemaggio’s wines are certified with the organic label, the use of only grapes grown following organic methods of agriculture, due to this fact without synthetic chemicals and without GMOs. The sulphite content is very low compared to non-organic wines.
