Description

Product description for Corzano e Paterno Chianti “Terre di Corzano” DOCG 2021 (bio)

The grapes for this blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo are hand-picked and fermented separately according to grape variety and vineyard. In top vintages, up to 5% of stalks are fermented, and fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts in small 1-ton tanks and open fermenters. Maceration lasts between 21 and 35 days, depending on the quality of the grapes, the site, and the soil. Extraction is performed by gently submerging the pomace cap, rarely by pumping over. Malolactic fermentation takes place partly in wood and partly in steel, before the wines age for about a year in 25 and 40 hl “botti grandi” (grand bottles), as well as a small portion in used barriques and tonneaux.

Color

Ruby red with violet reflections, transparent, bright, and clear.

Nose

The 2021 Terre di Corzano from Corzano e Paterno performs on the nose like a textbook Chianti: rich sour cherry sparkles ruby red in the goblet and is underpinned by air-dried ham, dark chocolate, wild macchia, and herbal spices of bay leaves, thyme, and juniper. Light floral overtones connect with the cherry, causing the wheel to spin.

Palate

With taut tannins on the palate, the rich cherry glows a brilliant ruby red. With focused fruit and a fresh acidity, the Sangiovese performs at a high level, presenting itself with an athletic, sinewy nature without tipping over into the leptosome. Firm and wiry, the delicate tannin corset is tightly interwoven with the vibrant acidity. A juicy, tart and long finish with an affinity for fatty or salty dishes.
