Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2022 Ottomani Farm

Ottomani Riserva comes from the same vineyard as the vintage Chianti Classico, but from a stricter selection: the best grapes, from the oldest rows, in a year that deserves it. The same philosophy — pure Sangiovese, organic, spontaneous fermentation, no filtration — but with a longer maceration and aging in Tuscan oak barrels, which builds depth and complexity without altering the character of the grape. Tuscan oak is more porous and less invasive than French oak: it slowly releases oxygen, softens the tannins, and allows Sangiovese to remain the star. The result is a Chianti Classico that takes its time in the glass: ripe red fruit, spices, leather, undergrowth — everything that Sangiovese can build when given the necessary time.
