Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva del Granaio 2019 Borgo San Frediano

The Granaio Reserve takes inspiration from a fascinating legend linked to the "Granaio dell'Abbondanza" of San Frediano. This ancient building, initially a granary, was transformed into a barracks and later became the residence of the Knights of the Order of Saint Stephen. Legend has it that the knights discovered a secret room inside the building, containing bottles of wine aged in great secrecy by the Cistercian monks of the nearby monastery. These bottles, known as "La Riserva del Granaio," became a symbol of prestige and refinement.

The harvest takes place at a time of perfect ripeness of the Sangiovese grapes, following careful selection and manual harvesting. The vinification and refinement of the wine take place with particular attention, in oak barrels, for a period of 16 months.

The Chianti Classico Riserva del Granaio has an intense ruby red color and offers the nose delicious hints of violet, ripe red fruit and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is well structured, balanced and persistent.

This Riserva goes beautifully with meat-based dishes, in particular with sliced beef.
