Aiola Chianti Classico

Aiola Chianti Classico is a traditionally made Chianti Classico from the heart of Chianti. Typical blend is 90% Sangiovese with the remaining 10% Merlot and Colorino.  Fermentation takes takes place in stainless steel tanks and then the wine is transferred to a combination of  large 50 hl French oak barrels and steel tanks where it will sit for at least one year.  Deep ruby red color, aromas of cherries, pomegranate, violets and spices.  Smooth and balanced on the palate, with medium tannins and long aftertaste.  I like to say this is a Chianti with no make-up on. It’s traditional, an excellent expression of the Chianti terroir.  Paolo Salvi, one of the  great oenologists in Tuscany, is the man responsible for creating the wine.
