Contains sulfites

Intense red with purple-purple reflections; the nose is clean and precise, small black fruits combine with the harmonious aromas of plum and cherry, accompanied by vanilla with spicy licorice. The palate is concentrated but already balanced. The finish with lively and dense tannins is long and ends with notes of vanilla and cherry.

Die verschiedenen Rebsorten für „Collazzi“ – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot und Petit Verdot – werden getrennt geerntet und vinifiziert. Die Trauben werden auf einem vibrierenden Sortiertisch von Hand verlesen, um kleine Fremdkörper wie verdorbene Trauben oder Blätter zu entfernen. Nach der Gärung in Edelstahltanks bei Temperaturen unter 30 °C erfolgt eine 18-tägige Maischestandzeit. Die malolaktische Gärung findet in Barriques statt (50 % neu, 50 % zweiter Durchgang). Die 18-monatige Reifung in Holz erfolgt im unterirdischen Keller von Collazzi bei einer natürlichen Temperatur von 15 °C, gefolgt von weiteren 12 Monaten Flaschenreifung. Der erste Jahrgang wurde 1999 produziert.

COLLAZZI
Carlo Marchi bought the winery in 1933, and the estate is situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico area and extends over 390 hectares of land. Only 20 hectares are planted with vines and another 100 hectares with olive trees. The winery belongs to the Marchesi di Frescobaldi family, one of the most famous wine-producing families in Italy, to which the Tenuta di Ornellaia also belongs. However, Collazzi is managed independently of the group and can therefore commit itself without exception to a sustainable quality philosophy. Great importance is attached to careful and selective work in the vineyard, the harvest is done by hand.
