Lornano 2020 Chianti Classico
100% Sangiovese. Aromas suggest underbrush, tilled soil, tobacco leaf, smoky flint and mature black fruit. The ripe, forward palate offers stewed prune and baked plum accented with black pepper and a mineral note.
Grapes: Sangiovese 100%
Wine making: Aft a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes, the carefully de-stemmed grapes are vinified in modern stainless steel tanks. The maceration lasts around 25 days at a temperature of about 26° centigrade. When the alcoholic fermentation is completed, the wine begins his malolactic fermentation. After that, 50% of the wine matures in French oak barriques and the rest in big barrels where it stays for 24 months. It stays in the bottle for 6 further months.
Tasting notes: Bright and deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and with typical ripe wild berries such as blackberry and raspberry followed by spicy hints in which the note of licorice predominates, accompanied by notes of tobacco. It is a full-bodied, austere wine, with succulent tannins and a fresh acidity with a long and expressive finish characterized by blood orange notes in the after taste that temps to drink it.
