Food Matching Note:
The wine ages well, especially at a cellar temperature of between 15° and 18° C. Best served at 18° C it is fantastic with roast red meat and game dishes.
Tasting Note:
This wine has an intense, red ruby hue with good clarity and viscosity. The aromas are persistent, with evident primary aromas of red fruits bound to evident notes of vanilla, violets and spices. On the palate Teuzzo reveals a good structure which is accompanied by notes of young oak well integrated to mature varietal fruit.
Vinification Note:
The vines of the single vineyard Messer Pietro di Teuzzo are situated in Chianti Classico, at an altitude of 290 metres above sea level. The grape varieties planted are 90% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% other red varieties. A carefully controlled vinification, lasting about 21 days of maceration on the skins is followed by a gentle crushing. The wine is then aged in small oak barriques over a period of 12 months, followed by a further few months in 40 hectolitre casks. A period of 3 months in bottle completes the ageing process.
