Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 Ottomani Farm

Ottomani's Chianti Classico is made from 100% Sangiovese grown in vineyards over thirty years old in Greve in Chianti, the same area that four oenologist friends chose as their home when, in 2006, they decided to stop making wine for others. Clay and galestro, poor and well-drained soils that force the roots deep and concentrate the fruit. Ten percent of the mass ferments with whole clusters, a choice that adds freshness and complexity without overpowering the structure. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete, maceration for about twenty days with daily punch-downs and pump-overs, natural malolactic fermentation. Then at least fourteen months on the fine lees, cold stabilization, no filtration. The resulting Sangiovese is what the territory can offer without corrections: cherry, lively acidity, present but not aggressive tannins, the mineral signature of galestro on the finish.
