After delicate pressing, fermentation occurs with maceration on the skins for approximately 12 days at controlled temperatures of 24-26°C. This process includes periodic pumping over and délestage to achieve optimal extraction of anthocyanins and tannins. The wine is then aged in 30-50 hectoliter casks for a minimum of two years before final assemblage and bottling.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e 14%\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The 2019 “Lareale” Chianti Classico Riserva presents a deep ruby red color with a faint garnet tinge. The nose offers a delightful bouquet of wild red berry fruits, floral aromas of violets and broom, complemented by balsamic hints and underbrush nuances. On the palate, it is harmonious yet incisive, showcasing fine-grained tannins and lively freshness. The wine’s development is more dynamic than muscular, with a persistent and elegant finish.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This versatile Riserva pairs magnificently with a variety of dishes.

Decanting for about 30 minutes prior to serving can help open up the wine’s complex aromas and flavors. Utilizing large, tulip-shaped red wine glasses will enhance the tasting experience by concentrating the bouquet and directing the wine to the appropriate areas of the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage and Aging Potential:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e When stored under optimal conditions—away from direct light, at a consistent temperature of 12°C to 15°C (54°F to 59°F), and with controlled humidity—the 2019 “Lareale” Chianti Classico Riserva has the potential to develop additional complexity over the next 8 to 10 years.
