TENUTA LA GABBIOLA RISERVA
Chianti Colli Docg

This reserve is born from an accurate selection of the best grapes within Tenuta La Gabbiola vineyards.

The grapes used are Sangiovese (100%).

The soil is semi soft with tendencies of clay. Because it is a skeletal-rich soil, it is considered on average, fertile.

The training method used is the guyot and cordon with a planting density of 5,000 vines / hectare.

The harvest is done manually in October.

The fermentation takes place is 28-30 degree celsius steel containers where polyphenols are gently extracted from the skins. The fermentation process lasts about 20 days.

The wine is then transferred into 25hl oak barrels where it remains for at least 20 months. During this period the wine is aged to a distinguished complexity and softness. In order to maintain the integrity of the fruity floral sensations, we prefer to use larger 25hl barrels as opposed to smaller barrels. This also gives the wine a well-integrated wood scent which is harmonious with the typical fruity taste of the Sangiovese. Prior to marketing the wine is aged for at least 6 months in bottle.

Ruby red, dense and consistent.

Intense and persistent with fruity floral and spicy notes.

Warm, soft and fruity; soft tannin content.

It is a balanced wine that is best consumed within 4/6 years after harvest.

It is a wine that is well suited for both first and second courses. It pairs well with rich lasagna and grilled meat and roasts especially pork. The tannins react with the succulence of the meat, while the alcohol and acidity cleanse your palate from the fatty flavor.
