Castelvecchi Chianti Classico Lodolaio Riserva 2019
Lodolaio is born in a unique terroir in the world in terms of microclimate and soil characteristics, located at an altitude of 500-600 metres, from Sangiovese grapes obtained by mass selection of vines of very ancient origin, a true estate. It matures in the ancient Castelvecchi's cellar, under the vaults of the thousand-year-old castle. All these elements combine to ensure an excellent result in terms of the balance between power and elegance. This Reserve wine results from a very careful selection of grapes, which were harvested as late as possible to maximise the ripeness of the bunches.

Colour

Bright red with purple reflections.

Bouquet

A fresh, complex bouquet with an intense fruitiness reminiscent of red berries such as cherry, currant, blackberry and raspberry. The spiciness leads back to liquorice, cloves, cinnamon, pepper and dark chocolate with a vanilla finish.

Flavour

On the palate, it is warm and enveloping with elegant tannin, especially in this vintage where the selection of grapes was more rigorous, and the harvest was extended.

Pairing

Recommended with braised or barbecued red meat dishes and game.
