Description
This Chianti Riserva displays a deep ruby-red colour with brick-orange highlights. The nose opens with dried cherries, plum, soft spice, and subtle leather and earthy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, with softened tannins supporting flavours of stewed red fruits, hints of herbs, and a touch of cocoa, finishing long, balanced, and elegant.
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.
