Tasting note from from 10.12.2023, Copyright Sebastian Bordthäuser

Die Trauben für die Cuvée aus 90% Sangiovese und 10% Canaiolo werden von Hand gelesen und nach Rebsorte und Weinberg getrennt vergoren. In Top-Jahrgängen werden bis zu 5% Rappen mit vergoren, die Gärung erfolgt spontan mit eigenen Hefen in kleinen 1-Tonnen-Behältern und offenen Fermentern. Die Mazeration dauert je nach Qualität der Trauben, Lage und Boden zwischen 21 und 35 Tage, die Extraktion erfolgt durch sanftes Untertauchen des Tresterhutes, selten durch Umpumpen. Die malolaktische Gärung erfolgt teils im Holz, teils im Stahl, bevor die Weine für etwa ein Jahr in “Botti grandi” von 25 und 40 hl sowie ein kleiner Teil in gebrauchten Barriques und Tonneaux reifen.

Colour

Ruby red with violet reflections, transparent, bright and clear.

Nose

The 2021 Terre di Corzano from Corzano e Paterno performs on the nose like a Chianti from the Chianti textbook The rich sour cherry sparkles ruby red in the goblet and is underpinned by a little air-dried ham, bitter chocolate, wild maquis and herbal spices of bay leaf, thyme and juniper. Slightly floral overtones create a link to the cherry and turn the wheel into a circle.

Mouth

With taut tannins on the attack, the rich cherry shines bright ruby red on the palate. With focussed fruit and fresh acidity, the Sangiovese performs at a high level and presents itself with an athletic, sinewy nature without tipping over into leptosome. Firm and wiry, the fine, silky tannin corset is closely interwoven with the vibrant acid nerve. Juicy, tart and long finish with an affinity for fatty or savoury dishes.

Food recommendations from Sebastian Bordthäuser
