BINDI SERGARDI
CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA
This wine is refined and complex. Here we have selected
the best grapes grown in our finest vineyards and, we submit
the exceptional result to your palate.
Grape varieties: Sangiovese and a small
percentage of complementary varieties
Location of vineyards: selected grapes from
the Perone and Presoni del Morini vineyards on the Mocenni
estate, near Vagliagli. The structure and composition of the
terrain give it a true vocation for fine wine. South /southwestern
exposure.
Altitude: 400-450 m.
Soil: for the most part alberese and galestro
Training system: spur cordon
Age of vineyard: 10 – 30 years
Vineyard density: 3.500 – 5.500 vines
per hectare
Vinification and aging: fermentation took
place in stainless steel vats and maceration lasted for 16
– 18 days at a controlled temperature of 28/30°C.
Shortly after alcoholic fermentation the wine was transferred
into oaken barriques where malolactic fermentation took place
and where it was aged for 15 months. The bottled wine then
remained a further three moths stored on the estate for refinement
prior to its release on the market.
Colour: intense ruby red
Nose: an ample, complex bouquet, with hints
of ripe fruit, cinnamon and vanilla.
Taste: rigorous sangiovese use renders this
wine mineral and fresh. These characteristics, together with
velvety tannins, bring a balanced prestige to the wine. Aging
in barriques permits the wine to evolve and refine.
Alcohol: 13,5 % Vol.
Notes: retains its characteristic properties,
improves with aging.
Serving suggestions: traditional accompaniments are red meat
(both roasts and salted), game, and mature cheeses. Serving
