Description

Lecci e Brocchi's Chianti Classico 'Ragonaia' is a typical and balanced expression of the Sangiovese grape variety, vinified in the Chianti area and produced according to organic and environmentally friendly methods. With its traditional and resolute character, this label is fresh and lively thanks to its savoury notes, enriched by the scents of red fruits, which invite you to drink it. Ragonaia is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the Chianti Classico DOC zone, on mineral-rich soil that is ideal for vine cultivation. The grapes are harvested by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October and vinified in vertically open tonneaux. During the alcoholic fermentation, carried out by indigenous yeasts, the skins, together with the must, are periodically soaked and watered by manual punching down. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 12 months in second passage barriques. This wine is ruby red in colour, with intense notes of red fruit in harmony with the violet aromas characteristic of Sangiovese. On the palate, it is full and persistent, with tannins that are lively and well present, due to its youth, but never too invasive. The finish is savoury, with a slight acidity that is balanced by a very pleasant fruity aftertaste. It is a perfect accompaniment to all red meats and also finds a harmonious balance with fresh and semi-cured cheeses, offering an ideal gastronomic versatility to satisfy different palates.
