Chianti Classico DOCG - Tenuta di BibbianoWith the Tenuta di Bibbiano Chianti Classico, a first-class red wine finds its way into the crystal-clear glass. It reveals a wonderfully bright, ruby-red color. This single-varietal Italian wine caresses the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, and sour cherry. Added to this are hints of toasted wood and minerals. This red from Tenuta di Bibbiano is the right choice for everyone who prefers as little sweetness in wine as possible. At the same time, it never appears meager or austere, as one might naturally expect from such a wine. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine presents itself as wonderfully dense. Thanks to the moderate fruit acidity, the Chianti Classico flatters the palate with a soft mouthfeel, without sacrificing juicy liveliness. The finish of this red wine, which has good aging potential and comes from the wine-growing region of Tuscany, more precisely from Chianti Classico DOCG, ultimately delights with a beautiful aftertaste. Vinification of Tenuta di Bibbiano Chianti Classico The well-balanced Chianti Classico from Italy is a single-varietal wine, vinified from the Sangiovese grape variety.

Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Chianti Classico can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 12 months.
