This is an outstanding Chianti Classico Riserva. It has freshness, alongside concentrated, complex aromas and flavours of dried cherries, dark chocolate and toasted coconut, with masses of depth and richness. The tannins are rounded and velvety, and it has superb length. Upon opening, it is initially lean, but the flavours and texture expand and soften with exposure to air. This is an excellent example of how skilled blending of the juicier Merlot fleshes out the noble yet sometimes ascetic Sangiovese. Ready to drink now, this will also evolve well with bottle age over you can enjoy this at your leisure over 5-10 years.

Winemaking
Fermentation takes place on the skins for 20 days at temperatures around 30–32°C. The wine then matures for 16 months, with the Sangiovese component aged in tonneaux and the Merlot in barriques, using 50% new and 50% second-use oak. The final blend rests for 8 months in bottle prior to release.
