2014 Fratelli Triacca La Madonnina Chianti Classico La Palaia

Description

This magnificent wine is produced with grapes grown in the “La Palaia” area of the “La Madonnina” Estate, an area that enjoys a special microclimate and excellent sun exposure. The low yields, late harvesting, careful vinification and ageing in oak casks for over 8 months result in a full bodied, highly concentrated wine of considerable elegance. This product ranks among the best Chianti Classico wines. It denotes a modern character, which is emphasized by the addition of a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and by the elegant touch of new wood. Intense red garnet in color, its scent reveals hints of cloves and juniper berries and pleasant traces of sweet oak. This wine has a layered, varied aroma, a good interplay of acidity and a long, complex finish. -Winemaker’s Notes
