Description
Our Chianti Classico Riserva is crafted from exceptional parcels from estate vineyards - a deep, ruby red color, this wine offers lovely red fruity notes coming led with hints of strawberries, citrus and tobacco. Same flavors extend to the fruit-filled palate with additional earthy and spicy notes, firm tannins balanced by fresh acidity and good complexity.
