Leccioni Chianti DOCG - Frescobaldi

The Leccioni Chianti from the wine-growing region of Tuscany presents itself in the glass in a brilliantly shimmering purple, ruby red. The bouquet of this red wine from Tuscany captivates with nuances of plum, blueberry, plum and black cherry. If we explore the aromas further, black tea, cinnamon and gingerbread spice are added.

This red from Frescobaldi is perfect for anyone who likes as little sweetness as possible in their wine. However, it is never sparse or brittle, but round and smooth. The texture of this light-footed red wine is wonderfully velvety on the palate. Thanks to the moderate fruit acidity, the Leccioni Chianti flatters the palate with a soft sensation without lacking freshness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Tuscany, more precisely from Chianti DOCG, ultimately impresses with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of the Leccioni Chianti from Frescobaldi

This elegant red wine from Italy is vegan and made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. The ageing in barrels is followed by extensive bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex.
