This reserve of Chianti Classico shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of black cherry and plum followed by aromas of blueberry, violet, licorice, carob and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and appreciable smoothness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry and plum. This wine ages for 18 months in cask followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle.
