Description

The 2016 Giusto a Rentennano is a flagship wine produced by Fattoria di Rentennano, a winery with a rich history dating back to 1076. Situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, near Gaiole in Chianti, this estate benefits from ideal terroir conditions that contribute to the wine's outstanding quality. The Giusto a Rentennano is crafted primarily from Sangiovese grapes, reflecting the region's signature varietal. In the glass, it exhibits a deep ruby-red color, hinting at the depth and concentration within. The nose is greeted with an array of aromas, including ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry, interwoven with subtle notes of dried herbs, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is dry and full-bodied, with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides structure and balance. Flavors of dark fruit dominate, complemented by nuances of spice and earth. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a memorable impression of complexity and elegance. This is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth but will also benefit from further aging, allowing the flavors to evolve and harmonize over time. Ideal with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
