Palladio Chianti
Wine Description
A blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot and 5% Syrah that is vinified and matured entirely in stainless steel tanks. A prolonged, eight day maceration with skin-contact and frequent pump-overs result in greater color extraction. Temperature-controlled fermentation provides juicy and balanced tannins, while maintaining the rich fruit aromas typical of Sangiovese.
