Natural cultivation is always the focus of winemaking at Casa Emma. Something special has been thought of for the Chianti Classico Riserva Vignalparco. Pest control, mowing of the grass and fertilization in this two-hectare vineyard are done by the house geese!
This wine is a 100% Sangiovese, that is traditionally aged for two years in 500L large wooden barrels that have been filled for the second and third time, leaving just a hint of wood aroma to the deliver wine. The scent is dominated by ripe dark berries and a fine note of fresh herbs. It is powerful and structured on the palate, the relatively cool location at 480 meters altitude gives this magical Chianti a remarkable elegance, the fine tannin structure marbles the fruit and the extract. That's great!
After 24 months in wooden barrels, the Chianti Riserva Vignalparco is allowed to rest in the bottle for another year before it is sold. Good things take time. The winery estimates an aging period in the bottle of up to 15 years after harvest. A fine Chianti Classico that benefits from ageing.
From a culinary point of view, the combination with a Bistecca Fiorentina immediately comes to mind. That makes you happy.
