WINE DESCRIPTION
Buondonno Chianti Classico is made from the local Sangiovese variety, sourced from organically farmed estate vineyards in the historic, original Chianti Classico appellation in Tuscany, Italy. The winemaking process involves careful hand-harvesting and fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks. Finally, the wine is aged in a mixture of neutral barriques and larger format neutral oak to help round out the characteristically grippy tannins of Sangiovese without masking the delicate red berry flavors with notes of sweet spice.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Buondonno Chianti Classico has a vibrant ruby color.It offers enticing aromas of tart red cherries, raspberries, and sour plums, accompanied by subtle hints of dried herbs and earthy undertones. Despite the racy acidity, the palate of this wine is well-balanced and elegant, with flavors that mirror the aromas. The ripe red fruit notes take center stage, supported by firm tannins that help frame the persistent finish, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and turned earth.
