Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Chianti shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry and raspberry
followed by aromas of blueberry, plum, cyclamen, dried violet, vanilla and
licorice. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors
of black cherry, raspberry and plum. This Chianti ages for 21 months in
cask followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
