Careful selection of the best grapes from the estate in this Riserva, to obtain from each vintage a wine that best interprets the Chianti Classico terroir. Only native grape varieties, with no Cabernet or Merlot. The color of this Chianti Classico is the ruby red color of Sangioveto. Fragrant, fresh with pleasant hints of red fruit, licorice, currants and a light touch of vanilla. The typical notes of Chianti Sangiovese dominate. It expresses a pleasant sweetness. It is round, soft and savory, with tannins that become increasingly velvety with age. Acidity and persistence characterize a very elegant aftertaste.
