This is followed by maceration on the skins, which can last three to four weeks. Then comes <strong>malolactic fermentation<\/strong> in oak barrels. Once this stage is complete, <strong>ageing begins in second- and third-year French oak barrels and 20 hl Slavonian oak casks<\/strong>, lasting about <strong>20 months<\/strong>. After bottling, <strong>the wine ages<\/strong> for <strong>at least nine months in the bottle<\/strong>, after which the product is ready for sale.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"711\">The aroma reveals <strong data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"486\">ripe sour cherry, wild strawberry and red plum<\/strong>, joined by light floral nuances, dried herbs, tobacco, leather and sweet spices. On the palate the wine is dry and well structured: Sangiovese's acidity carries the vitality, while the ripe tannins create a long and elegant finish. This is <strong data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"786\">a classic, terroir-focused Chianti Classico<\/strong> rather than a very concentrated or modern-style Tuscan wine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1400\"><strong data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1270\">Castello di Radda<\/strong> is located in the heart of Tuscany, in the <strong data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1313\">Radda in Chianti<\/strong> area, one of Chianti Classico's historic and higher-altitude growing zones. The estate's history dates back to <strong data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1446\">the 15th century<\/strong>, when the property belonged to a Florentine noble family. Today the estate focuses on Chianti Classico wines, and its vineyards lie at approximately <strong data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1637\">450\u2013500 metres above sea level<\/strong>. Altitude matters here: cooler nights help Sangiovese retain acidity and aromatics, while the Tuscan sun gives the grapes ripeness. Also important for Castello di Radda's wines is <strong data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1869\">the limestone soil<\/strong>, which brings structure and minerality to the wines.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1400\">On Chianti Classico wines you will often see <strong data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2633\">the Gallo Nero, or black rooster<\/strong>. It is the historic symbol of the Chianti Classico Consorzio and a very good visual marker for distinguishing a bottle of Chianti Classico from ordinary Chianti.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2447,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[56],"product_tag":[88],"class_list":["post-2446","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-punane-vein","product_tag-castello-di-radda","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2446"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2446"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veinitaja.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
