Description
This Chianti Riserva shows a deep ruby-red colour with brick-orange highlights. The nose offers aromas of dried cherries, plum, soft spice, and subtle leather and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, with gentle tannins supporting flavours of stewed red fruits, hints of cocoa, and a touch of dried herbs, 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.
