Strada Al Sasso Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Tinto

Description

Tenuta di Arceno For centuries, the finest Sangiovese has been produced in the Chianti Classico region, in the hills of Tuscany. Our estate, Tenuta di Arceno, lies among these hills and is the birthplace of this special Sangiovese wine. Meticulous care of the vineyards, attentive listening to the soil, and respect for the natural expression of the grape allow us to create wines that reflect the unique character of Tenuta di Arceno. Vintage Notes – Chianti Classico 2020 2020 was considered an ideal year. A mild, dry winter gave way to a spring with abundant rainfall. Summer brought warm days and significantly cooler nights, which helped preserve the wine's acidity and aromas. With excellent berry set and virtually no extreme weather events, 2020 proved to be a balanced vintage, with moderate alcohol, vibrant fruit, and elegant tannins. The grapes destined for this Gran Selezione were harvested at optimal ripeness, between October 2 and 5. Aging: 10 to 12 months in second-use French oak barrels.
