Note de dégustation
La robe rouge foncé profonde révèle des reflets noirs. Le bouquet intense et diversifié rappelle la cerise, les baies, la violette, les épices et les fines herbes. En bouche, le sangiovese 'Vigneto Branca' est concentré, juteux et long. Ses saveurs de fruits sombres, ses notes terreuses épicées, florales et minérales et ses tanins subtils côtoient une acidité dynamique et annoncent une finale puissante, harmonieuse et précise.

Also very beautiful, the Cigliano di Sopra 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigneto Branca comes in at a higher price point compared to the excellent annata wine, but the quality is as impressive here. The main difference between the two wines is aging potential, and of course this wine is poised for the longer cellar life of the two thanks to its extra textural tightness and structure. The Vigna Branca was planted in 1972, and you get old-vine fruit with the added complexity that comes with advanced plant age. However, the bouquet is very similar in terms of freshness and transparency. It offers lively notes of wild berry, rose, blood orange and crushed stone. This Riserva is a shade darker in appearance. Production is 2,050 bottles, 49 magnums and six double magnums. This is the first vintage that this wine is designated as a Chianti Classico Riserva. It was an IGT Toscana wine before this year.

The first vintage of this 2,000-bottle single-vineyard Riserva and it stuns with its texture and precision. The use of 100% whole-bunch fruit is inspired – Matteo explains that this achieves some of the ‘fruity impact of carbonic wine’ while also helping to preserve the fruit without the use of sulphur additions. It also brings a hint of candyfloss, with enticing, breezy scents of cherry and cream. It has a beautifully silky texture allied to bright cherry, lifted balsam and rose petal notes, gum-tingling acidity and a saline finish. Despite its immediate appeal, this has the structure to age really gracefully.

Healthy mid ruby. Firm, compact and balsamic with complex perfumed fruit rising from the glass with aeration. Succulent, perfumed fruit on the palate and with a gorgeous layer of sandy tannins. Super-elegant and very long.
Accords mets & vin
Le trio de choc : pizza, burger, steak. S’accorde également avec le meilleur de la street food comme le pulled pork.
Vinification
Les raisins de sangiovese de ce Chianti Classico Riserva mûrissent dans le vignoble Branca et sont vendangés à la main. La moitié d’entre eux est égrappée, macère sur lies et fermente sur levures naturelles. Ensuite, le vin est élevé pendant quatorze mois en barriques et tonneaux de chêne français, ainsi que dix mois supplémentaires en bouteilles.
