Sensory features: An expression of darker fruit, this red remains fresh and defined by violet, black cherry and spice notes. Polished, but still marked by dense, edgy tannins, matched by sweet fruit on the finish. Excellent quality and value for a Chianti Classico in this price range.

Best served: Great with roasts and aged cheeses
