The winery Azienda Agricola Marco Cincinelli is located in Capolona, in the Chianti Colli Aretini area, a few kilometers north of Arezzo. Climbing up from the Tuscan city toward Casentino Valley, in the hills between the villages of Bibbiano, Botti and Cenina, at an altitude ranging from 200 to 350 meters, opens the wonderful natural amphitheatre in which the lands of the winery extend. Far from all urban and industrial settlements, the Azienda Cincinelli cultivates its own lands: the winery properties extend for about 50 hectares, of which 45 are vineyards and 4 are olive groves alternating with plots intended for planting and wooded areas.

Winemaking

Wine from a single 55-year-old vineyard at an altitude of 300mt, with clay and limestone soil. Fermentation in steel and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels and tonneaux.

Tasting notes

Brilliant ruby red shaded on the rim towards garnet notes, lively in tone hinting at great freshness of taste. The nose opens broadly, giving hints of small wild sour cherries, dry hay and a complement of spices closing with balsamic notes and pipe tobacco. The mouth is coordinated with the soul of the dry wine, freshness running on young tannins, a mouth closing with bitter cherry flavours.

Food pairing

Perfect with matured cheeses, blue cheeses, simple and processed meats. Serve at 18°C.
