{"product_id":"2019-dievole-petrignano-chianti-classico-liberty","title":"2019 Dievole, `Petrignano` Chianti Classico - Liberty","description":"\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eDievole is a 600-hectare estate in Chianti Classico with ancient origins. Records of the name Dievole date back to 1090, derived from a contraction of ’Dio Vuole’ or ‘God willing’. In 2012 it was purchased by Alejandro Bulgheroni who, with the help of an expert team led by Stefano Capurso, began a big renovation project of the Dievole’s vineyards. These comprise over 150 hectares of vines, planted at elevations between 270 and 420 metres, on diverse soils of marine origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eAfter a period of conversion, the estate's vineyards were certified organic in 2017, thanks to the work of head agronomist Lorenzo Bernini. Several areas within the estate have been thoroughly examined and planted with optimum grape varieties on appropriate rootstocks. Sangiovese is their most widely planted variety, followed by Canaiolo, Colorino and Trebbiano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eWinemaker Luigi Temperini oversees vinification, with input from Alberto Antonini, a world-renowned winemaker and consultant. All Dievole’s wines are fermented in 75-hectolitre concrete tulips and oak use consists of mostly large, untoasted, French barrels. The ‘Campinovi’ comprises Trebbiano hailing from vineyards up to 20 years old. After fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18 degrees, it is aged for about a year in large oak. With a rich and complex style, the resulting wine is a great example of what this variety can do in the best sites and in the right hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe Chianti Classico is expressive, fresh, and vibrant with lovely cherry notes. Aged in oak for about 12 months, it is made from a blend of all the Chianti Classico vineyards. The ‘Petrignano’ is made entirely from Sangiovese hailing from a single vineyard where soils rich in stones and surface limestone rocks enhance the wine's distinctive minerality. ‘Novecento’, named in homage to the 900 years of history at Dievole, is made from a selection of grapes that, like the Chianti Classico, include a small proportion of Canaiolo and Colorino. The resulting expression is elegant and rich, with distinctive concentration and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe Vigna di Sessina is sourced from an exceptional plot that has the highest elevation of Dievole’s vineyards. Sitting at 420 meters above sea level, it is planted entirely with Sangiovese. Here, fossil-rich soils and macigno stone contribute to a wine that is both powerful and elegant, with ripe fruit, spicy notes, and layers of depth and complexity, all supported by fine, mature tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Petrignano vineyard is situated at an altitude of 270-300 meters above sea level on the slopes of Monte Morello, where the soil is characterized by a rich composition of stones and minerals with visible limestone rocks on the surface. This stony terrain contributes to excellent drainage and minerality in the wine. The vines, ranging from 5 to 20 years old, are trained using the Guyot system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe spring of 2019 was characterised by cool and rainy weather until mid-June, when there was a period marked by a significant lack of rainfall. From mid-August high temperatures and winds from the North added stress to the vines, but ripening and maturation remained steady due to their deep roots. Careful management of the vineyards was of particular importance during the summer, but overall the harvest was of very good quality, producing wines of great structure and balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiPaper-root MuiAccordion-root accordion_accordion__I9cut Mui-expanded MuiAccordion-rounded MuiPaper-elevation1 MuiPaper-rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eAfter picking and pressing, the must was fermented in 75-hectolitre cement vats with natural yeasts at a controlled maximum temperature between 26-28°C. After about two weeks of fermentation, the wine was racked into large, untoasted 41-hectolitre French oak barrels, where it remained for 13 months prior to bottling. A further 3 months of ageing in bottle occurred prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep ruby red in colour, this Chianti Classico has a distinctive nose of ripe red cherry and blackberry aromas.
