Chianti

Region/Appellation: Chianti DOCG, Tuscany, Italy

 

Varietal/Blend: 85% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo.

 

Vintage: 2016

 

Tasting note: Bright ruby-red color of an attractive intensity. In its youth, it is richly marked by violet reflections that tend to become garnet with age. Characteristically intense, fine and elegant and distinguished by an elegant scent of violets and tenuous perfumes of wild berries. Dry, full, properly balanced and extremely enticing with lingering acidity and flavours of cherry and spice.

Varietal/Blend: 100% Sangiovese

 

Vintage: 2012

 

Tasting note: Profound and intense ruby color. A great and complex nose. Flavors of red fruits and spices (graphite, vanilla, tobacco). In the mouth, the entrance is powerful but balanced by silky tannins. The final, very pleasing and balance, is very long and remains in the memory of the taster for many minutes.
