Le Miccine. Chianti Classico CChianti Classico DOCG Grapes: Sangiovese (with 5% Canaiolo and Malvasia Nera) A beautiful and classic Chianti Classico with fine mature tannin, supple and engaging fruit, every part in perfect balance. The fruit is somehow crunchy; succulent red cherry shot through with plum and red berry, subtly floral on the nose. 2018 is undoubtably a great vintage, there is just the slightest caveat, it has thrown an unusual sediment, not the usual dusty, gritty,
the quality was quite exceptional
the palate holds a depth of bramble
The vineyards are freshened by the winds from the Monte Rosa
with sufficient rain to replenish depleted ground reserves
On the palate there is fine rose-scented fruit
and this is the first time Gennaro has made a monopole* from this albarello-trained* vineyard
tart fruit finish
the other half in concrete tanks
Which yields generously for the first 10 years of its life and then calms down
The town of Gattinara is famed for Nebbiolo
A powerful and pretty wine
A serious and complex wine
