Chianti Classico

Medium

Cork

Riserva

In 2006, perfect summer conditions followed a long and rainy spring. Tobacco, black pepper and sous bois scents leap from the glass. The tannins are nicely resolved and give a fine, sandy texture. Secondary and tertiary characters include meat broth, mushroom, dried cherry, tobacco and spice, but there's also a vertical, energetic feel with a juicy red fruit vein which weaves through the body of the wine. Bold and spicy, yet poised and balanced, this is calling out for bistecca alla Fiorentina.
