How do we make “Occhio di Pernice Cennatoio”?<\/strong>
\nIn late September\/early October, the “selected” grapes for Vinsanto are harvested. Experienced grape pickers harvest Sangiovese clusters in perfect condition, detaching them from the vine to form what are known as \u201cpenzoli,\u201d which are carefully hung in the \u201cVinsantaia\u201d and left to dry until late December or early January.
\nDuring this drying phase, a highly complex series of physical and chemical transformations takes place in the composition of the grapes, the most well-known and evident of which is the concentration of sugar content. <\/p>\n

At the moment of crushing, a particularly dense must is obtained, which is placed directly to ferment in oak barrels with cemented bungs, where it remains for a period ranging from 6 to 7 years in a “roofed” environment, subject to continuous temperature swings, during which the typical aromas and flavors of Occhio di Pernice del Chianti Classico are formed.<\/p>\n

You will count your years by hundreds.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Occhio di Pernice Cennatoio
\n, Red Vinsanto from Chianti Classico DOC<\/b><\/p>\n

100% Sangiovese<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Chromatic range:<\/span><\/strong><\/em>Ruby red color with violet notes, deep, almost impenetrable<\/p>\n

Nose: <\/span><\/em><\/strong>Very intense, enveloping with robois\u00e8, spicy, balsamic notes fused with nuances reminiscent of blueberry jam, hints of blackberry, black cherry and plum, penetrating rich with nuances such as vanilla spice and cocoa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taste:<\/span><\/strong><\/em> The aromas detected on the nose are reflected on the palate, revealing great structure right from the start. This is a full-bodied wine with a dense, penetrating texture, a broad and complex array of aromas, and a superb balance of power and smoothness, with notes of tobacco and a persistent finish.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Pairing<\/strong><\/em>: Excellent on its own but perfect with our Mandorlini, cantuccini from Prato (a traditional Florentine almond cookie), served slightly chilled with Florentine crostini; it pairs very well with aged, fresh, and creamy cheeses.<\/p>\n
