MOCENNI 89 2018

Grape varietal: 100% Sangiovese 

Soil: Alberese and Galestro. 

Vinification and aging: a careful and precise selection of the grape bunches in the vineyard “89” on the Mocenni estate. The fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats and maceration lasts for approximately 20 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30° C. Shortly after alcoholic fermentation, the wine is transferred into oak barrels of 42 HL where malolactic fermentation takes place and where it is aged for 24 months. Once bottled, the wine remains stored in the estate for refinement prior to release. This wine expresses the unique character of Mocenni’s and Chianti Classico territory. 

Tasting notes: intense ruby red colour. Incense, red berries, citrus marmalade, a full bouquet of distinct aromas that make this wine unique. The tannin weave is very refined and balanced. The acid note, typical of Sangiovese, confers a particular length and vivacity to the taste that is full, sapid and elegant. This wine in its own unique and unmistakable manner, expresses the characteristic salinity, minerality of the terrain. Excellent and unique expression of Sangiovese. 

Serving suggestions: traditional accompaniments are red meat (both roasts and salted), game, and mature cheeses. 

Serving temperature: 18° C. Open and decant at least 1 hour ahead of time. Store at a constant temperature of 17° C away from light.
