Chianti Classico

Medium

Natural Cork

Riserva

A good, powerful vintage in the Chianti region, with an extremely warm summer yet not without pressure of disease due to good levels of rainfall mostly in the spring. The fruit is indeed ripe and slightly jammy, with prunes, leather and tobacco in depth, while the palate shines of grainy yet ripe tannins. From this year concrete tanks were rediscovered and used alongside 500 litres oak barrels for ageing, thus increasing the chewiness of the wine.
