IL PALEI

Chianti Classico D.O.C.G.

Prodution area: the Chianti Classico “Il Palei” is made in the vineyards

situated in Villa a Sesta, Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the province of

Siena.

Soil type: south-south-east-facing at an altitude of 450m a.s.l., the soil

tends to be heterogeneous, consisting largely of averagely sloping terrain

with stony, deep and well-drained soil, perfect for a variety such as

Sangiovese.

Grape blend: Sangiovese 100%

Cultivation and yields: the planting density ranges from 4,500 to 5,000

vines per hectare with a production of around 65/70 quintals of grapes

and an average yield in wine of 45 hectolitres.

Production techniques: the grapes are harvested by hand. After

destemming and pressing, the vinification begins in barrel-shaped vats.

The alcoholic fermentation takes place in about 7-10 days, followed by

maceration on the skins for about another 10 days at a controlled

temperature of 27°C.

Ageing and refinement: the ageing is carried out 30% in barriques and

the rest in large casks for 18 months. Before being released for sale the

Palei is refined in the bottle for about 6 months.

Organoleptic features: A classic wine of a deep ruby red colour with

violet reflexes and an intense bouquet rich in fruity aromas such as cherry

and blackberry. The flavour is harmonious, perfectly balanced and wellstructured,

slightly savoury, with a fine and sweet tannin component and

extremely pleasant notes of red fruit.

Food matches: mature cheeses, pasta with game, grilled meats and

stews.

Serving temperature: 18°C
