Bindi Sergardi Mocenni 89 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Barrique DOCG 2018

A masterpiece from Tuscany: Mocenni 89 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. In the world of wine, numbers are not simply calculations and logic. They possess a fascinating, emotional dimension. Behind a number can lie memories, meanings, and moments. Often, a number is used to identify something precisely. In this case, a number becomes a name, emphasizing the careful and meticulous selection of individual grapes. A wine that is absolute selection, and thus represents a unique and incomparable expression of a place, a soil, an identity, and the pursuit of excellence. All these aspects merge and unfold in the moment of tasting: intense bouquets, perfect flavor, unmistakable personality, and persistence on the palate, in the mind, and in the heart.

• Color : Intense ruby ​​red. Frankincense, red berries, citrus marmalade.
• Aroma : a full bouquet of distinctive aromas that make this wine unique.
• Taste : The tannin structure is very refined and balanced. The acidity, typical of Sangiovese, lends the taste a special length and vibrancy that is full, flavorful, and elegant. This wine expresses the characteristic salinity and minerality of the soil in its own unique and unmistakable way. An excellent and unique expression of Sangiovese.

After a careful and precise selection of the grapes, the hand-harvested grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and maceration lasts approximately 20 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C. Shortly after alcoholic fermentation, the wine is transferred to 42-hectoliter oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation occurs and the wine matures. After bottling, the wine remains at the winery for further refinement before release. This wine uniquely reflects the character of Mocenni and the Chianti Classico terroir. Aged for approximately 24 months in 42-hectoliter oak barrels.

  " Garnet red in color with deep ruby ​​red highlights. The bouquet is reminescent in part, of walking into a chemist shop, iodine, menthol, clove and warm Mediterranean herbs. Red cherry, wild strawberry, pomegranate, candied orange peel, mellow spice, liquorice and cedar notes. Rich palate lavered, formidable textural depth, very elegant body, agile and sopisticated. Memorable. "

  " This has aromas of sour cherries, orange beef, bay leaves and balsamic. Firm and well-framed, with a medium to full body and deliciously expressive layers of red fruit. Long, vibrant finish. Drinkor hold. "
• Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator: 92 points
  " A juicy red highlighted by cherry, iron, leather, almond and earthnotes. Firms up, revealing dusty tannins and a hint of herbs as this builds to the finish. Fine balance. Best from 2023 through 2038. "
