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