Description

The 'Chianti Classico' is a tribute to this terroir. This pure Sangiovese captivates with its simplicity and ripe cherry notes, one of the typical aromas of this variety. It impresses with the brilliance of its colour and, in the mouth, a pleasant freshness meets firm, young tannins. After 12 months in steel and concrete vats, the wine is immediately ready to drink.
