Wine > Geografico Chianti Classico Riserva Docg Contessa di Radda 2019 - Geographical 0.75 lt

The Chianti Classico Riserva Contessa di Radda by Geographico takes its name (and bears her face) from Countess Willa of Tuscany, mother of the famous Marquis Ugo of Tuscany, cited by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy as the "Great Baron". The Countess, founder of the oldest Benedictine monastery in Florence, the Abbey of Santa Maria, better known as Badia Fiorentina, was an active part in the history of Radda, Florence and the Chianti area in general. This Riserva is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Colorino, coming from vineyards in Radda and Gaiole in Chianti. The grapes are vinified in steel and the wine then ages for 18 months, half in large barrels, half in barrique.
CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA CONTESSA DI RADDA GEOGRAPHICAL: TASTING
The Chianti Classico Riserva Contessa di Radda by Geographico appears in the glass as a bright ruby with garnet nuances. The olfactory impact is vinous, fruity and spicy, with notes of cherry, blackberry, blueberry jam, green pepper, sandalwood and light cocoa. In the mouth the tannin is felt, but is well balanced by the softness of the fruit and the glycerine-alcoholic envelopment. Very good with marinated bacon, lightly smoked and slowly cooked on the grill.

Estimated between Thursday 15 May and Wednesday 21 May.
