Description

1996 was an outstanding vintage for Italian wines and this two bottle gift will offer a great drinking experience. It features two wine styles of Chianti. Both bottles are beautifully presented in a dark mocha double leather effect gift box as illustrated.

1996 Chianti Classico, Castello di Fonterutoli - Mazzei
This lovely Chianti is characterised by its ruby red colour which turns to garnet with time, with aromas of red and black cherry intermingled with notes of wild herbs, mint and a hint of earthy spice. It is supported by a racy acidity, mellow tannins and a long persistent finish.-
Chianti, situated in Tuscany in central Italy, is home to probably the best-known and most iconic of all Italian wines. The area’s most highly regarded wines come from the Chianti Classico zone which is the heartland of the Chianti wine region – its traditional and longest-established vinicultural area. This fame is due not just to the high quality of the wines, but also to the classico zone's iconic Tuscan landscape and wine making traditions.

1996 Chianti Melini,Borghi d'Elsa
While it is rather light in body, the 1996 Chianti Melini Borghi d'Elsa is big on flavor. A good mixture of dried fruits, floral notes and nuts. The finish is soft, but pleasing. Great food wine since is not overpowering, yet shows good flavours. It is forward and fruity while still exhibiting Chianti's characteristic rustic charm.
Chianti, situated in Tuscany in central Italy, is home to probably the best-known and most iconic of all Italian wines. This Chianti is a Sangiovese-based wine from the less prestigious vineyards of the area.
