"Bello Stento" Chianti Classico DOCG 2022

Among the rolling hills of Greve in Chianti is where the Chianti Classico DOCG Bello Stento of Tenuta La Madonnina is born. Greve is considered the gateway to the Chianti Classico wine region that extends between Florence and Siena. Here the landscape is enchanting, characterised by rolling hills, oak forests and cypress trees. The area offers an ideal microclimate for growing vines, with predominantly clayey soils with a high calcium content. 100% Sangiovese, the prince of Tuscany, the vines of Bello Stento are long-lived and vigorous. The vinification process involves maceration on the skins for 10-15 days in 150-hectolitre stainless steel fermenters. During this phase, up to three délestage and daily pumping over are carried out. At the end of fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months, again in stainless steel, to preserve the freshness and aromatic integrity of the wine, enhancing the varietal characteristics of Sangiovese. Visually, Bello Stento has an intense bright red colour. The nose reveals a lively and fresh bouquet, with predominant notes of sweet violet and black berry fruits. In the mouth it is distinguished by a good acidity, a fruity, dry and harmonious taste. The structure is pleasant and not excessive, making Bello Stento an ideal wine for everyday drinking. It goes well with meat dishes such as Florentine steak, roasts and game. It is also perfect with pasta dishes with strong sauces and typical Tuscan cuisine.
