2013 Podere Ciona Sangiovese

This is a gorgeous, high-altitude Chianti Classico Riserva. The most important wine for the estate, this Chianti Classico Riserva is meticulously crafted from the best Sangiovese grapes coming from our vineyards. Fermented and aged in French oak, then refined in the bottle for at least a year.
Rich and elegant, it has a deep, garnet red color with swaths of mineral cherry fruit, layered with tobacco and dried herbs all underlined by a firm grip of refined tannins. It pairs well with pastas with red sauces, roasted and grilled meats, game, aged cheeses.
We recommend waiting at least 5 to 6 years from vintage for consumption; can be cellared for 10 – 12 years.
Just 350 cases made on a 6 hectare estate and backed by superstar enologist Stefano Chioccioli.
