La Querce - Chianti SORRETTOLE DOCG 2015

La Querce - SORRETTOLE Chianti DOCG 2015

The SORRETTOLE is based on Sangiovese - as with many winegrowers - blended with the traditional grapes Canaiolo and Colorino and contains a part Merlot to round off the fruit aromas.

The vineyards are mainly south-facing in the open Sorettole valley. The loamy soils and the constant light breeze give a good balance of cooling and moisture for the maturation of the grapes.

After the manual reading, the transport takes place in small boxes in the winery. The grapes are gently ground, followed by fermentation for 10 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, while the juice is pumped several times to intensify the dyes over the marc.

To create gentle and well-integrated tannins, a 9-month ripening follows in the steel tanks, before the wine is filtered and bottled.

The finished Chianti Sorrettole ripens for another 3 months in the bottle, before it goes on sale.
