WINE DESCRIPTION
Codirosso Chianti is a classic Tuscan wine, crafted predominantly from 90% Sangiovese, complemented by 7% Canaiolo and 3% Colorino. This Chianti is produced with care, undergoing fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures for 7 to 8 days, followed by an equal period on the skins to enhance color and flavor extraction. During the early stages of fermentation, the juice is pumped over daily to ensure optimal integration of flavors. After fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic conversion, contributing to its smooth, balanced character. Codirosso Chianti offers a harmonious blend of ripe red fruit, subtle tannins, and a refreshing finish, making it an excellent choice for both casual sipping and pairing with a variety of dishes.
