A fine rendition of Chianti Classico, this shows very pleasant interplay between ripe fruit (dried cherries) and toasty oak, with subtle savory notes holding everything together. Bright acidity will help this partner well with grilled fish, vegetarian dishes, or light meats. A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 San Diego Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
