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.
Grape Variety: 90% Sangiovese and 10% of other allowable varietals for Chianti Classico DOCG.
Vineyards: The grapes were sourced from vineyards in San Piero, Cerreto, and Castelnuovo Berardenga from sites with varying southern/eastern exposure. The grapes were hand-harvested.
Ageing: 12 months in barriques and 3 months refining in the bottle.
Best Served: Great with roasts and aged cheeses
