Description
CENIPRIMO 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Magnum
CENIPRIMO 2018 Chianti Classico Docg Gran Selezione Magnum by Ricasoli 1141 is a great Tuscan red wine made from 100% Sangiovese, an expression of a prestigious cru and a style that combines depth, precision, and territorial identity. The Magnum bottle further enhances the wine's evolution and makes this label particularly suitable for important occasions and for the cellar of those seeking a characterful Chianti Classico.
Territory and wine style
The CeniPrimo vineyard is located in the southernmost part of the property, in the large valley of the Arbia River. Here, the soil has a complex composition, with silty deposits, clay presence, low skeletal presence, little limestone component, and a reduced content of organic matter. This profile helps define a Chianti Classico with an authoritative face, structure, balance, and an elegant interpretation of Sangiovese. Manual harvesting and careful vinification reflect a artisanal attention aimed at enhancing the character of the cru.
Tasting notes
CENIPRIMO 2018 presents a profile consistent with an important and well-structured wine. On the nose, it offers an intense and refined texture, with fruity sensations typical of Sangiovese and notes that can evolve towards more complex tones thanks to aging. On the palate, it shows body, energy, and a balanced texture, supported by freshness and a tannic component that is present but well integrated. The passage in tonneaux contributes to giving roundness without covering the varietal profile, while the finish appears long and persistent.
Recommended pairings
This Chianti Classico Docg Gran Selezione pairs naturally with rich and flavorful dishes of Italian cuisine. It is ideal with Florentine steak, roasted red meats, game, braised dishes, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, and aged cheeses. Its structure also allows for pairings with baked preparations and second courses with a strong flavor, where freshness and tannin help maintain balance and cleanliness on the palate.
Serving temperature
Serve CENIPRIMO 2018 Chianti Classico Docg Gran Selezione Magnum at 16-18°C. If possible, it is advisable to open it a little in advance to favor the full aromatic expression, especially in the early stages after opening. The Magnum version can benefit from a few extra minutes in the glass, allowing it to gradually show complexity and finesse.
