This estate grown blend of 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and Colorino is rich, intense and complex with excellent depth of red berry fruit, distinct spice, outstanding acidity and nicely weighted tannins. It is the winery's most widely produced wine by far underlining their belief in Sangiovese, which acquires a strength and energy from the soil.
We suggest opening it in advance to allow it to breathe or put in a decanter. This multi-faceted wine can be enjoyed straight away or left to develop and evolve over the years. An exceptional compliment to red meats, roasts and game.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is 90% Sangiovese and the rest Canaiolo and Colorino, raised only in used barrique and large cask. It pours a pure ruby and has floral and herbal aromas of cherry candy, black raspberry, forest herbs, tomato leaf, and dried roses. It is medium to full bodied, with good concentration, fine tannins, and a long, clean finish, and it is savory with dried herbs, oregano, dried cherry, salty earth, and an angular structure."
