Chianti Villa Marnia

Chianti Villa Marnia - 100% Sangiovese

Selected from vineyards in the Chianti DOCG area in the province of Florence, central Italy. The grapes are carefully picked by hand in mid October. The vines are an average of 15yrs old and they are trained using the typical Guyot method. After de-steming, the grapes are crushed and placed in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 25-26 degrees C. for 10-12 days.

The wine has a lovely ruby-red colour with a bouquet reminiscent of cherries, wild berries and prunes. On the palate it is medium bodied, soft and smooth and bursting with deliciously gentle tannins.
