It originates in the heart of Chianti Classico, south of Casavecchia, from a careful selection of \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, also from the small vineyard of Sicelle. It is a structured and harmonious wine, with a complexity that reflects the territory and the authentic style of the Buondonno winery.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2021 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate, with a warm but never excessive summer and an excellent temperature range between day and night during ripening. These conditions allowed for healthy and well-ripened grapes, with an ideal \u003cstrong\u003earomatic richness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etannic balance\u003c\/strong\u003e for a Riserva. The result is a Chianti Classico with a decisive character, but with an elegant and pleasantly balanced profile.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021 - Buondonno\u003c\/strong\u003e is born from spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by long maceration on the skins to extract color and aromas. Aging takes place in Slavonian oak barrels and 500-liter French oak barriques, where the wine rests for several months, acquiring complexity, roundness, and finesse. A subsequent rest in the bottle completes the process, allowing the wine to harmonize all its components.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo the eye, it presents an intense ruby red with garnet reflections, a sign of its aging period and the structure that distinguishes it.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is broad and deep: notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, small red fruits, and spicy nuances of black pepper, leather, and sweet tobacco emerge. The evolution in the glass also reveals balsamic hints and Mediterranean herbs, typical of the best Sangiovese from Chianti Classico.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is full, balanced, and consistent with the olfactory sensations. The \u003cstrong\u003etannins\u003c\/strong\u003e (the natural substances in grapes that give structure and a dry sensation to the sip) are fine and well-integrated, while the freshness provides momentum and elegance. The \u003cstrong\u003epersistence\u003c\/strong\u003e is long and enveloping, with a finish that recalls red fruit and sweet spices.\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings for Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021 - Buondonno\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis wine pairs perfectly with traditional Tuscan dishes and meat-based preparations.\nIdeal with:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egrilled or roasted red meats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epappardelle with wild boar ragù\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaged hard cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erich and flavorful dishes from Italian regional cuisine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nThanks to its structure and harmony, it can also accompany more refined dishes, offering a complete tasting experience.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and aging: how to store Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021 - Buondonno\u003c\/h2\u003e\nTo best preserve the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021 - Buondonno\u003c\/strong\u003e, keep it in a cool, dark environment at a constant temperature between 14 and 18°C, with the bottle laid horizontally to keep the cork moist.
