Chianti Classico Gran Selezione La Corte 2019 The vintage was decidedly happy and the wine reflects this happiness; although he is still young he is "ready" even if the potential that portends a promising future is still in a nutshell. But certain youthful roughnesses do not detract from the pleasant drinkability, slightly slowed down by a tannin that is not yet totally tame, but balanced by the acidity.
The teroldego grape is an indigenous variety of Trentino and finds its ideal development environment in the Piana Rotaliana. The word "Teroldego" seems to derive from "Tiroler Gold" (gold of Tyrol), the name with which this wine was indicated at the Court of Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian Empire; “Tiroldico” and later Teroldego would then derive from this denomination. Among the Trentino red wines it is the most renowned, so much so that it is defined as the "main wine of Trentino". The Teroldego Reserve is produced only in great vintages from carefully hand-selected grapes in the most suitable areas of the Piana Rotaliana: "Fron", " Rauti ”,“ Camorzi ”and“ Sottodossi ”. The grapes are pressed with separation of the stalks. A partial removal of the seeds is carried out, followed by maceration of the skins with frequent pumping over and fermentation at a controlled temperature of around 25 ° C for 12-13 days. Minimum 24 months of maturation, of which 12 in precious oak wood (Allier and Troncais) followed by aging in the bottle.
