Description

CHIANTI CLASSICO TENUTA DE’ CARFINI DOCG

Tenuta de’ Carfini Chianti Classico – 100% Sangiovese, sourced from old clones planted in 1975 on alluvial sediments and river stones. A rare expression shaped by deep roots and raw material of remarkable character. After a long maceration on the skins, the wine ages slowly in 20hl conical oak casks, gaining finesse and structure.
Elegant and assertive, it shows a pleasant tension on both the nose and palate. Red-fruit notes intertwine with earthy and spicy nuances, revealing a vibrant, precise profile. Juicy and fresh on the palate, it maintains a balanced, persistent texture, with an energy that hints at excellent aging potential.
