LA PORTA DI VERTINE 2021
Chianti Classico DOCG BIO
A castle has stood guard over the Vertine vineyard for centuries. It is a fan of three hectares under vine, poised on the back of the hill at 500 metres above sea level.
The Sangiovese vines, completely exposed to the south, are anchored to soils dominated by marl and alberese.
Production Area: Gaiole in Chianti
Vineyard: Vertine
Grapes: Sangiovese 100%
Vinification and Refinement: The grapes were harvested by hand into 10 kg crates and selected by hand on the sorting table.
Vinification and fermentation of the grapes took place in cement vats.
Ageing took place in 25 hectolitre Austrian oak barrels for a period of approximately 12 months, followed by at least 6 months in bottle before release.
Visual profile: ruby red
Olfactory profile: hints of blackberry and cherry with aromas of underbrush and tar.
Flavour profile: balanced and pulpy, with a dense and full-bodied mouthfeel and savoury development.
