Chianti Classico 2019 Val delle Corti 75 cl

Description

History

Val delle Corti was born thanks to the realization of a dream of Giorgio Bianchi, who wanted to live in the countryside and produce wine in 1974 and moved from Milan to Radda with his family. With the participation of his wife Eli they restructured an abandoned farmhouse, replanted some vineyards and built a small cellar, from that moment an era of great work and dedication began for the production of Chianti Classico and beyond. Since 1999 the company has been run by his son Roberto and his wife Lis, who thanks to their commitment and determination have brought Val delle Corti and its products to an international reputation level.

Production method

Tasting notes

Ruby red color with brilliant reflections. On the nose notes of red fruit, cherry, ripe berries, slightly dried violets, herbaceous hints, roasting spices, coffee, black pepper and cloves. In the mouth it is full-bodied and fresh thanks to its acidity, the tannins are smooth and well present. Definitely long and fruity finish, with hints of spices too.

Possible combinations

Perfect with red meat dishes, game, grilled meats and very tasty cheeses.
