TERRENO LE BONILLE DI SOPRA 2022

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

The vintage 2022 started with a fair amount of rain during the winter and early spring. From end of April to mid-August we didn't recieve a drop of rain with high temperatures. Since the heat started so early there were no problems with humitity throughout the year. Rains in mid-August revitalized the vines and we brought beautiful grapes to the cellar.

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.
