Lanciola Chianti Terricci '15

In Greve, in the heart of the Chianti Classico area the Azienda Agricola Lanciola has around 14 hectares, 10 of which are devoted to specialized vineyards with optimum south-west exposure, on particularly favorable soil, at an altitude of approximately 300 meters. In addition to Sangiovese, the vineyards contain Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Canaiolo and Colorino grapes.

Grape Varietals: 

Mainly Sangiovese and Various Complementary

Gastronomy:

It goes well with red meat dishes, mushrooms and aged dry cheeses.

Color: 

Intense ruby red, dark with red hues.

Bouquet: 

Broad, complex, fruity with tones of red fruit, married to woody sensations and spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla.

Taste: 

Structured wine, soft, fleshy, voluminous; elegant and persistent with a fruity aftertaste revived by a good acid tension.

92 Points - James Suckling, "A characterful wine with light cedar highlighting overtones of dried berries, red plus, dried meat, tar and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied and chewy, this shows lots of moss and earth notes on the palates, but a solid line of freshness and acidity."
