It displays an intense ruby red colour, enhanced by bright garnet highlights. On the nose, pronounced aromas of ripe red fruit emerge, accompanied by enveloping spicy notes. On the palate, it reveals a full body, supported by pleasant acidity and marked minerality. The \u003cstrong\u003eelegant tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e leads to a long and very persistent finish. If allowed to decant, it pairs beautifully with \u003cstrong\u003ered meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game, pork and mature cheeses, with an ideal serving temperature between 16 and 18°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from the hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the heart of the Sienese region. The vines, with excellent south and south-west exposure, are trained using a \u003cstrong\u003espurred cordon system transitioning to Guyot\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine’s firm and defined profile is the result of the \u003cstrong\u003esilty-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in marl, limestone and abundant stones. This specific geology imparts a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e and ensures balanced yields, reflecting the vocation of a region capable of producing grapes with remarkable aromatic and flavour expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting begins in the first days of October. \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation in raw cement\u003c\/strong\u003e, at a controlled temperature, lasts about two weeks to preserve the aromatic integrity of the grape varieties. Afterwards, the wine matures for seventeen months in \u003cstrong\u003euntoasted French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a process that smooths the tannins, making them soft and balanced. The process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003ematuration period\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least six months. This meticulous craftsmanship results in a harmonious sip, where freshness, spicy notes and persistence coexist with great naturalness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNovecento Chianti Classico Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates nine centuries of Dievole's history, whose winemaking origins have been documented since 1090.
