Nose
Fruity red with dried berry and cherry character.
Palate
CHIANTI CLASSICO is a tribute to our terroir. This single-variety winefascinates with its easiness and the ripe cherry notes, one of the typical aromas for Sangiovese. In the mouth, a lovely freshness and sapidity combine with young and crisp tannins.
Medium body and a fresh finish.
