Dive into the heart of Tuscany with Geografico Chianti DOCG, an embodiment of rich history and viticultural excellence. Crafted by the historic Geografico cooperative, this wine is a testament to the traditional and authentic expression of the Chianti region.
The Legacy of Geografico
Since its founding in 1961, the Geografico cooperative has been at the forefront of preserving the integrity and quality of Chianti wines. Nestled in Tuscany, Geografico sources grapes from carefully selected vineyards across the Chianti zone, including the distinguished Colli Senesi and Classico subzones.
Chianti DOCG: A Hallmark of Quality
The Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) status of Geografico Chianti guarantees its high-quality production standards and authentic origin. The wine represents a rigorous adherence to the Chianti heritage, crafted with sustainable viticulture practices and traditional winemaking techniques.
Grape Varieties and Viticulture
Geografico Chianti primarily comprises Sangiovese grapes, known for their high acidity and vibrant fruit flavors, forming the backbone of Chianti wines. Additionally, Canaiolo grapes contribute to the wine’s roundness and subtle floral notes, enhancing the complexity of the palate.
The vineyards are advantageously situated on rolling hills with optimal sun exposure and well-drained soils, ideal conditions for grape ripening and flavor concentration. Harvested by hand at peak ripeness, the grapes ensure a balance of freshness and varietal character.
Traditional Winemaking and Aging Process
Employing time-honored fermentation methods, Geografico Chianti is primarily aged in oak barrels, which impart a refined spice and structure without overshadowing the natural fruit purity. The resulting wine showcases elegance and an ability to age gracefully.
Sensory Experience and Food Pairing
With its intense ruby hue and alluring aroma of cherry, ripe red fruits, and violet, complemented by hints of Mediterranean spices, Geografico Chianti captivates the senses. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of cherry, plum, liquorice, and delicate spices, supported by fine tannins and lively acidity.
This Chianti’s adaptability makes it an excellent companion for a wide range of dishes, from classic Italian fare like tomato-based pasta and pizza to more complex pairings, including grilled meats and aged cheeses. Its vibrant yet nuanced profile can also elevate international cuisine, rounding off flavors harmoniously.
