A beautiful deep ruby in color, this Chianti opened up with exotic aromas of dark berry fruit, prunes, Asian spices, dried flowers, mushrooms and sandalwood. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, dry, dark fruit, earthy and gentle wood spices flavours with balance acidity and chewy tannins. This wine’s finish is long with great texture and a fine mixture of sweet and sour fruit which works quite beautifully. This is a more robust style of Chianti Classico Riserva, which struck a good balance between old and new world. I so enjoyed this wine, lots of charm, personality and great flavours, I went back to repurchase. Strongly recommended.
