Cultus Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

2021 Organic

Cultus was conceived as an evolution of Chianti Classico Riserva, the result of a journey that began years ago and has matured through experience and adaptation. It is a wine that responds to the challenges of climate change with rigor, careful selection, and a more focused use of historic indigenous varieties that, in Chianti, have always accompanied Sangiovese. The grapes come from selected parcels in the historic vineyards of Monti, where Sangiovese finds ideal conditions of exposure, altitude, and soil composition.

 

Grape varieties

Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Canaiolo, Mammolo, Foglia tonda, Malvasia Nera, Sanforte, Pugnitello

Vinification

Stainless steel, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, maceration on the skins, manual punch-downs, measured extraction.

Ageing

French oak barriques.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant, very intense ruby red in color; on the nose, it presents fruity notes, predominantly marasca cherry and ripe fruit, which complement the balsamic fragrance and spicy notes released by aging. It has good body, is fresh, and has well-defined tannins. It is an elegant, full-bodied, and smooth wine.
