Discover the depth and elegance of Setriolo Chianti Classico DOCG 2017 — a traditional yet refined Tuscan red crafted from Sangiovese grapes grown in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Aged to perfection, this wine offers structure, complexity, and the unmistakable character of one of Italy’s most iconic appellations.

 

Tasting Notes:

Garnet-red in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of sour cherry, dried rose petals, and hints of leather and spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with firm tannins, notes of red berries, tobacco, and earthy undertones. The finish is long, savoury, and beautifully balanced.

Produced from estate-grown Sangiovese, the 2017 vintage saw warm conditions, resulting in ripe fruit concentration and well-integrated tannins. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by ageing in oak barrels to add depth and polish while maintaining the grape’s natural freshness.
