I Veroni Chianti Rufina Riserva 2012
It is a very elegant Sangiovese in purity, years of study and passion of Lorenzo Mariani to make this become a true Sangiovese RESERVE that can represent both the company I Veroni and a flavor that there were in the past. So only sangiovese, all organic (from vintage 2013), all from a single vineyard of over twenty years in the church of St. Martin in Quona facing south south west; maturation in oak lasts about a year and a half in tonneaux 500 lt French oak. The aromas are complex but always fine and elegant, plum, cinnamon, tobacco, licorice, perfumes that really help you understand a production area such as Chianti Rufina which is famous since 1716 in the notice of Cosimo III de Medici.

Colour

Bouquet

Very intense scent of blackberries and ripe red fruits, spices and tobacco aromas are combined to a gentle touch of oak scent.

Flavour
