This is a lovely Chianti Classico. The nose shows dried red cherry and red plum tones with hints of violets, tobacco, porcini mushrooms and subtle baking spices. The red fruits dominate the palate and are enhanced by elements of black cherry, earth, tobacco and spice. The dried cherry fruit carries through the long finish.
