CHIANTI CLASSICO BORGO SALCETINO 2022 DESCRIPTION

malolactic fermentation. Only after the final blending will the definitive liquid come to light, which will further refine in the bottle.

The red Chianti, obtained from the Borgo Salcetino winery in the Classica area of the denomination, fills the glass with an enchanting ruby hue. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of spices and raspberries, set against a backdrop of cocoa and tobacco. The sip is full and reveals a good correspondence with the olfactory sensation. On the palate, the tannin is velvety and lingers with persistence, accompanied by pleasant fruity returns. The great feelings of the Livon family for viticulture are perceptible through this convivial Tuscan red, characterized by a strong gastronomic vocation.

When to open
To enjoy it at its best, we recommend you to let the wine 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can let it rest in the cellar for more than 5 years
