Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva ORO 2005

An exceptional wine from an exceptional year, this Riserva wine was produced from the finest Sangiovese (85%), Canaiolo (10%), and Trebbiano / Malvasia (5%) grapes hand-picked on the Chianti Classico Luiano Estate. Only 2,500 cases were made.

 

Harvested late September / early October, the grapes underwent a traditional red wine fermentation in stainless steel tanks with an intentional warming to encourage a secondary malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged 3 years in oak casks in an aging room that goes back to the 12th century.

 

Possessing a ruby to deep cherry red colour with a persistent bouquet, this full bodied wine is smooth, round, dry, and mouth-filling. Very good length; it leaves a pleasant after-taste. A wine that well suits all red meats, roasts, game and poultry.
