Chianti Classico Riserva
A careful selection of the best grapes of the estate: only native varieties, without Cabernet or Merlot. A wine which best interprets the territory of Chianti Classico to obtain the best from every vintage. Ageing lasts for about 15 months in used barriques, followed by another 15 months in the bottle.
Tasting notes: typical ruby red colour, which has a tendency to become garnet red as the wine ages. The nose has an intense aroma of violets and an elegance that is enhanced over time. On the palate the wine displays relatively dry and harmonious notes, while also being slightly tannic, with a flavour that becomes increasingly velvety over time.
Pairings: ideal with red and white meat, as well as pairing well with poultry, hare and various cheeses.
