"Bright ruby red aroma: full and fruity, elegant, with persistent floral notes and red and black berry aromas complementing hints of sweet spice, and underbrush." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Chianti Classico is plump and juicy, with soft contours and plenty of immediacy. Succulent dark cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, spice and espresso all come together in this flashy, extroverted Classico. The 2017 is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot that spent 12 months in small French oak barrels." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous "A big, rich CC, with ripe plums, walnuts and smoke, as well as dried flowers. Medium to full body, creamy tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now." —James Suckling |
