Chianti ClassicoRiserva DOCG

Overview

Deep ruby color, with a very complex yet intense nose with lots of fruity, floral and mineral notes, like marasca cherry, violet and graphite. The nose is not herbaceous but spicy, with interesting notes of black pepper and bay leaves. The sip is full bodied, intense, with a pleasant minerality and with a dense, soft and ripe tannic structure. The finish is balsamic and fruity.
