Pruneto PRUNETO Chianti Classico Riserva 2021

Description

The Chianti Classico Riserva di Pruneto is a wine outside the modern schemes and without unnecessary frills. On the nose, notes of withered flowers, ripe fruit and undergrowth. In the mouth it is fresh, full-bodied and with a beautiful tannic texture ready to be enjoyed. In drink

Pruneto is a farm in Radda in Chianti that has always kept away from fashion and the easy shortcuts that can be taken in the world of wine.

The soul and heart of Pruneto is Riccardo Lanza who has been inspired by this small part of Chianti for years, giving life to wines with an original character that faithfully reflect the territory and man.

The Pruneto vineyards extend for just over three hectares, arranged along the southern slope of the hill on which the company rests. The vineyards are distributed in two different vineyards, the first facing south and the second south-west.

The main grape is obviously Sangiovese, flanked by some rows of Merlot and Canaiolo. The oldest of our vineyards dates back to 1972, while the youngest was planted in 2017. The soils are mainly made up of marl, have a good stony skeleton at a fair depth. The altitude of the vineyards is about 550 m a.s.l.
