TERRENO LE BONILLE DI SOPRA 2019

Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

Our grapes sourced from the vineyard of Bonille are used for this Chianti Classico Riserva. Bonille is a vineyard with south- and southwest exposure and the vines grow on hand-built terraces in clay soil rich in calcareous. As a result, the wine has a tighter and spicier profile. It is aged in large oak barrels (12, 24 and 32 hl) and has a great aging potential.

About the vintage

Vintage 2019 is one of the top three best vintages of this millennium. Balanced temperatures throughout the year give elegant and complex wines made to age. A vintage that reminds us of the great Chianti Classicos during the 1980's.

In the glass

Inviting aromas of ripe cherries, forest berries and peppery spices with a taste of finely preserved fruit and hints of chocolate and tobacco. A full-bodied, age worthy wine with a marked freshness and high elegant tannins.

Combined with food

The wine is perfect with risotto with Tuscan pecorino and sausage or a tender Florentine steak and with rich soups with lentils and chickpeas.
