Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✭

The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby 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 blackberry, black currant, blueberry, violet, vanilla and carob. The moth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly 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 for 4 months followed by at least 3 months of aging in bottle.
