The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas that start with hints of black cherry, raspberry and cyclamen followed by aromas of blueberry, plum, violet and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is pretty persistent with flavors of black cherry and raspberry. This Chianti ages for 2-3 months in cask followed by 2 months of aging in bottle.
