A lovely, elegant wine with more fruitiness than most Chianti Classico Riservas, yet it doesn’t lack for structure. It has flavors of cherries, violets, barrel oak, rustic citrus notes that come with Sangiovese and even some black raspberries in the aftertaste. Overall, lovely depth and complexity of flavors, and certainly a bargain for the price.
