Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Chianti Classico shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet
red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of plum and black cherry followed by
aromas of violet, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, chocolate, licorice, pink
pepper and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic
attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The
finish is persistent with flavors of plum and black cherry. This Chianti
Classico ages in barrique.
