Description
The 'Chianti Classico Riserva' is made from the best Sangiovese grapes. This well-structured wine displays the elegance and charm of this classic Tuscan grape variety and does not betray the high expectations of this historic appellation. It has a round taste and hints of cherry, spices, leather and chocolate. The Sangiovese, blended with Merlot, is aged in barriques and tonneaux for 16 months and then in bottles for at least one year.
