Chianti Colli Aretini DOCG 2021- Paterna

Chianti Colli Aretini DOCG - Paterna

A splendid Chianti made from Sangiovese grapes plus other local vines, such as the Colorino del Valdarno, the Canaiolo, and the Ciliegiolo. The vinification is spontaneous and absolutely traditional, with a fermentation that lasts 8-10 days in steel tanks. It is refined in the same tanks and is bottled in September following the harvest. The Chianti di Paterna has a brilliant ruby ​​red color. On the nose the aromas are intense with hints of violet and cherry. At the sip it is hot, dry, fresh, and slightly tannic. It is a "traditional" Chianti to be appreciated in youth, and to savor with the everyday kitchen.

Service

We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip glasses. Daily wine.

Pairing

Perfect with hors d'oeuvres starters, with pasta dishes, red meats, excellent with radicchio crepes.

The cellar: Paterna

The Paterna agricultural cooperative is located on the hills of Terranuova Bracciolini, along the Arno valley, between Arezzo and Florence. Established in 1978 by the passion of a group of winemakers. Today it covers an area of ​​15 hectares, seven of which dedicated to the vineyard, of varying ages, from 40 years to the recent plants, and the rest bred to olive groves and vegetables, all conducted in organic farming, with a path of approach to biodynamics. No weeding, but greening of legumes, and only copper, sulfur and propolis for treatments. The vines grown are those typical of the area, with particular attention to the recovery and enhancement of the native red grapes: Sangiovese first, but also Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, Pugnitello, in addition to the white Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes. The harvest is manual, with progressive selections, and in the cellar, the vinification is substantially traditional and takes place using steel tanks, indigenous yeasts, light filtrations and possible clarification with organic vegetable proteins and bentonite. A wine-making process supervised by Elisabetta Barbieri. Wines faithful to tradition, sincere and authentic.
