Chianti Biskero D.O.C.G. 2024
In vintage 2024, climate change has manifested itself newly: the prolonged extreme summer heat led plants to limit the ripening of the fruits, giving wines less bodied than usual but well-marked on freshness and balance.
Tasting Notes
This organic Chianti spends little time in oak, unlike many of its Tuscan siblings. This gives the Sangiovese grape the chance to express its pure red cherry and plum character and a delicately spiced finish. Smooth, ripe and fresh this will accompany a Pasta al Ragù just perfectly.
The Sangiovese grapes are hand harvested, treating them gently and with care. All natural, no sulphites are used in the production of this wine and native yeasts are used for fermentation. Once the wine has been through fermentation, 30% of it is put in to 300 litre American oak Tonneaux to mature for a period of 4 months. The wine is then given a further 3 months to refine in bottle before release.
