Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate
transparency. The nose reveals pleasing, intense and elegant aromas, mainly
of fruit, such as black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and plum
followed by intense and good aromas of violet and vanilla as well as hints
of chocolate. In mouth is round and pleasing, very balanced, with smooth
tannins and good body, intense flavors and good correspondence to the nose.
The finish is persistent with pleasing and clean flavors of black cherry,
blueberry and plum. A well made wine. This Chianti reserve is aged in
barrique followed by a long period of aging in bottle.
