Nose
Intense notes of red fruits, cherries and currants stand out in the nose, with floral scents of violet and vanilla.
Palate
It enters the palate soft and sweet, but with a pleasantly crisp sensation. Elegant and balanced tannin. Lingering and persistent wine.
Growing Conditions
Chianti Classico Riserva Massi del Colombaio is born from a selection of grapes from estate-owned vineyards in Loc. Cornia, Montelodoli and Vinci, ranging in altitude from 280 to 480 metres above sea level.
The three types of soil that make up this wine have been united since their formation, originating from the Chianti massif, by a high level of compact limestone stoniness resting on a sandstone base. This type of soil restrains the vigour of the plant, lengthens the vegetative cycle and enhances the structure of Chianti.
