Identified as a superior zone as early as the 18th century, the official name of Chianti was declared for the area around the townships of Castellina, Radda, and Gaiole, just north of Siena, by Cosimo III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, in an official decree in 1716.\n\n\n\n By the 1930s, however, the Italian government had expanded this historic zone with additional land to capitalize on the Chianti name. It wasn't until 1996 that Chianti Classico regained its autonomy, when the government granted a separate DOCG along its borders. Since then, Chianti Classico no longer considers itself a subzone of Chianti.\n\n\n \nMany Classicos today are made from 100% Sangiovese, but can contain up to 20% of other approved varieties grown within the Classico boundaries. The best Classicos have bright acidity, supple tannins, and a full body with abundant ripe fruit (plums, black cherries, blackberries).

The Riserva designation is granted only after the wine has been aged in oak for at least 24 months. The Nipozzano bottles are filled and then returned to the cellar for a few more months.

After the careful harvest, the grapes aren't pressed immediately; instead, the whole vines are used. These vines are hung in a special barn for 3 to 4 months, where they are exposed to air and dried. This drying process is crucial to the creation of Vin Santo. As the grapes dry, they lose significant moisture, resulting in a concentrated juice with a high flavor intensity. Simultaneously, the sugar content of the grapes increases, contributing to the wine's natural sweetness. After the drying process, the grapes are gently pressed, and the resulting juice is transferred to small wooden barrels. Here begins the aging process, which lasts for at least 3 years. During this period, the wine rests in barrels made of various types of wood, such as oak, cherry, and chestnut.

This makes Castello Banfi by far the largest and most important producer of Brunello di Montalcino. The estate is dominated by a beautifully restored medieval castle. The estate was acquired by the Mariani family in 1978. Since then, they have strived to elevate their estate's wines to the highest levels of the DOC. They began by experimenting with various clones to find the best clones of the local Sangiovese grape. To do this, they tested no fewer than 160 different clones—a monumental undertaking. Ultimately, around 15 excellent clones remained, planted in the various blocks of the vineyard. These form the basis of a Brunello of exceptional quality. Neighboring producers also benefit from the acquired knowledge and plant the best clones in their vineyards.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eA unique blend for Banfi Le Rime Chardonnay Pinot Grigio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Unique to this Banfi wine is the combination of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio grapes. Hardly anyone makes this combination, but at Banfi, they simply do. Chardonnay adds fullness and richness, while Pinot Grigio offers a grapey, distinctly fruity, and energetic character. This combines in a surprising way. No oak is used, so it's primarily the fruit that shines through here, in the form of delicious white fruit, with plenty of juice and a pleasant freshness on the palate.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The scent and taste of the Banfi Le Rime\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIt's a captivating, easy-drinking wine.

It was founded in 1983 by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli. Eugenio's father instilled a passion for wine at an early age. The name Le Macchiole means \"The place where it all began.\" This estate is primarily known for its varietal wines, particularly those made from Cabernet Franc ( \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/products\/le-macchiole-paleo-2021\" title=\"Pure Cabernet Franc from Le Macchiole\"\u003ePaleo Rosso\u003c\/a\u003e ), Merlot ( \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/products\/le-macchiole-messorio\" title=\"Pure Merlot from Le Macchiole\"\u003eMessorio\u003c\/a\u003e ), and Syrah (Scrio) grapes. The wines from this region are particularly known for their deep-colored, supple, yet pleasant reds. The climate also strongly influences the character of Italian wines. Today, Cinzia Merli runs the winery together with her sons. This family continues to innovate, surprising the entire wine world. They never lose sight of their original vision. The entire process, from grape to wine, is closely monitored. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand between late August and mid-September. A rigorous selection process follows. Fermentation and maceration then take place in stainless steel tanks for approximately fifteen days. Finally, the wine is aged for ten months in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe soft, stimulating tannins of Bolgheri\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The aroma reveals a beautiful palette of black fruit, light spices, a touch of dark chocolate, licorice, and a hint of leather.

The name Messorio refers to the ancient Tuscan grape harvesting method, the most important time of the year. Making a wine solely from Merlot grapes isn't easy, but this red wine truly has it all. Currently considered one of Italy's most representative Merlot wines, Messorio is highly complex and elegant, aging beautifully in the bottle year after year.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The maximum score for Messorio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe relatively small Le Macchiole estate has become a benchmark for the Bolgheri region. In 2008, their top wine, Messorio, was awarded 100 points in WineSpectator, a maximum score. Production is handled by the family business founded in 1983 by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli. They adhere to tradition and strongly believe in organic viticulture. Their passion and dedication to wine are beautifully reflected in every bottle they bring to market.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The vinification of Le Macchiole Messorio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe harvest is done entirely by hand in the 25-year-old Vignone vineyard. After sorting and destemming, a third of the grapes were vinified in concrete vats and the remainder in steel. A regular fermentation process, long macerations, frequent pumping over and hand punching, and a few quick cold soaks in recent days produced a sweet-smelling and fresh wine, with noble and mouth-filling tannins and excellent complexity on the palate. At the end of October, the wine is aged for another twenty months in oak barriques, followed by twenty months in the bottle. After the long wait, we are rewarded with this beautiful red wine. A magnificent wine, but it can also easily age in the bottle for another 10 to 15 years. The aroma is powerful and full-bodied, with numerous impressions of black fruit, spices, and vanilla, among other things. The palate is complex, rounded, and very refined—a wine to rave about.","brand":"Goessens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775789862991,"sku":"10189","price":284.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/le-macchiole-messorio_10189.webp?v=1770120350"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/regio-toscane.oembed?page=2","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
