Description
This Chianti displays a deep ruby-red colour with soft brick highlights. The nose reveals dried cherries, plum, subtle spice, and gentle earthy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, with mellow tannins carrying flavours of stewed red fruits, hints of leather, and a touch of herbs, finishing balanced, approachable, and lingering.
Decanting: Stand upright for 2–3 days to allow sediment to settle. Decant carefully through a fine strainer and aerate 1–2 hours before serving at 16–18°C. Fragile corks are common; strain any fragments during decanting.
