Nose
The nose displays hints of black cherry, iris and subtle notes of violet.
Palate
The soft tannins are balanced by a nice minerality which is the result of the growth of the vines in rocky soils. A wine where all the peculiarities of the Radda in Chianti area can be found.
Growing Conditions
The year 2019 was featured by spring rains, which allowed vital water reserves, suitable for a hot summer with low rainfall. The slightly harsher and wetter weather in the first half of the year slightly delayed the vine’s growth cycle compared to recent years. A hot but regular summer, with some peaks of temperature without precipitation, was followed by a September with nice weather and good temperature ranges, which accompanied gradually the phenolic ripening of the grapes.
