Rocca Delle Macie, Chianti Classico Riserva, 'Sergioveto' 2020
DESCRIPTION
Sergioveto was conceived by Italo in 1985, as a tribute to his son Sergio, who began working alongside him at the head of the winery that year. The name of this wine is also a reference to the archaic name of Sangiovese, which was the main grape chosen to produce this wine. Since 2015, it has been under the Chianti Classico Riserva appellation and produced 100% from the Sangiovese of a single vineyard, named Pian Della Casina. Bright ruby red in color, it has a warm and seductive aroma of red berries and jam, followed by balsamic notes with a spicy finish of leather and sweet tobacco.
REGION
Tuscany
Italy
Tuscany is Italy's third most vine-planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both its poor soil and deliberate efforts to limit yields but increase the quality of the wine. After Piedmont and Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines, while Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.
