This Chianti Classico displays a deep ruby hue and reveals a \u003cstrong\u003efruity aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, dominated by clear notes of cherry, blackberry and ripe wild berries. On the palate, it offers a juicy and rich flavour profile, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins. The tasting concludes with an enveloping \u003cstrong\u003ewarm and velvety finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, confirming an excellent structure that balances the fullness of the fruit with the natural vibrancy of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come exclusively from the \u003cstrong\u003esingle Petrignano vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the area of Castelnuovo Berardenga. The Sangiovese vines grow at an altitude of 330 metres, benefiting from a favourable east and south-east exposure. This area is notably stony, with limestone rocks linked to the Monte Morello Geological Formation. The well-drained soils, composed of carbonate flysch and marl limestones, have a \u003cstrong\u003eslightly alkaline reaction\u003c\/strong\u003e and a high calcium content. This specific geological formation imparts a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-week alcoholic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in raw cement vats at a controlled temperature, to maximise aromatic precision. Malolactic fermentation and the subsequent maturation of around thirteen months take place in \u003cstrong\u003estrictly untoasted French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This careful wood management preserves the original freshness of the fruit and elegantly smooths the tannins. At the table, the harmony and body of the wine find their perfect \u003cstrong\u003epairing with pork\u003c\/strong\u003e, robust game dishes and flavourful mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the guidance of oenologist Luigi Temperini, Dievole practises \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e agriculture to enhance the authenticity of the region.
